Call for Proposals – NASIG Autumn 2026<https://nasig.wordpress.com/2026/07/20/call-for-proposals-nasig-autumn-2026/>
We are pleased to announce that the NASIG Autumn virtual conference is scheduled to take place online October 6-8, 2026, and the call for proposals is now open.
We are accepting proposals for the following session types:
* Short (7 minutes): fitting for concise overviews or burgeoning ideas
* Medium (15 minutes): perfect for case studies
* Long (30 minutes): ideal for more detailed presentations
All of the session types are ideal for demonstrations. If you have an idea that would be better suited for a longer session (1 hour), a panel discussion, or a workshop, please consider submitting your idea when the call for proposals for the 2027 NASIG Annual Conference comes out later this year.
Please submit proposals using our Google Form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScbw0DbWybmUxXP8dlhynZ6XCN_du2rkxCBnqE8R1jkvfPvvQ/viewform?usp=dialog> by end of day Friday, August 21, 2026.
Whether you are new to libraries, working towards your MLIS, or have many years of experience, we are interested in learning more about your work on topics including but not limited to:
* New or evolving tools, such as AI
* Electronic resources & serials
* Collection acquisitions, development, and assessment
* Career/skill development
* Accessibility standards
* And more!
Sessions may present a report of a research study, an analysis of a practical problem-solving effort, new findings related to a previously shared NASIG webinar or conference presentation, or a description of an innovative program that may be of interest to the NASIG community. Demonstrations are particularly effective in the virtual format. View the NASIG Autumn 2025 schedule<https://nasigautumn2025.sched.com/> and recordings<https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfCwmKIIu_VaSUOKvg429XJ7-VoxWhtUl> to get an idea of topics selected in the past. This is not an opportunity to promote or denigrate a specific vendor, product, or service.
NASIG Autumn is an entirely virtual event, open to speakers and attendees globally. Speakers will receive free registration. We intend to make NASIG Autumn content more widely available after the conference. Additional details will be included in the Speaker MOU.
The deadline for submission is Friday, August 21, 2026, after which our planning committee will convene and review all submissions. If you need an extension, or any assistance with your submission, please do not hesitate to contact us at nasig-autumn@nasig.org<mailto:nasig-autumn@nasig.org>. Visit the NASIG Autumn conference webpage at https://nasig.org/NASIG-Autumn-Conference.
We would be grateful if you would share this announcement among your own networks.
Many thanks in advance!
NASIG Autumn Conference Committee
