Online Northwest is pleased to announce we will be hosting an in-person conference on April 10, 2026. It will be held at the University of Oregon, Portland Campus.
We invite proposals for 30-minute and 45-minute sessions, trainings, or panels on the theme: Re: Community – Reimagining Connections, Reframing Communications, and Redefining Collaboration. Presenters will be given a reduced registration rate to attend the conference. For more information, please visit our website.
The Program Committee is open to session proposals that explore areas of this theme in a variety of contexts. The committee welcomes proposals from library professionals at any level and from all libraries. We welcome work that is in progress, inspires us to explore areas in which we are not experts, and will help us grow as professionals and libraries.
There are many paths for sharing experiences, and we are able to accommodate a multitude of formats including (but not limited to) panel discussions, social/networking gatherings, and presentations. Please be aware that we are not offering hybrid or recorded options. There will be a reduced registration cost for presenters.
Want some inspiration or a place to start? Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Reviewing the “unwritten” aspects of library and archives work – why we do what we do
- Navigating change – with projects, systems, structures, and more
- Explorations – new processes, platforms, services, and interactions
- Updates about pilot projects or early research
- Collaborations and communities – supporting each other and fostering growth
Proposals will be accepted until 5pm on December 16, 2025. To submit a proposal, follow this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/OnLineNWProposals
