Important Conference Update

An update from the ALA Board of Directors

It is no longer viable to move forward with ALA’s 2020 Annual Conference & Expo as originally scheduled (May 3-6 in Salt Lake City). Although our hope was to find a way to hold a safe and successful event this year, after evaluating availability, we were unable to find a viable 2020 date.

This is not the ideal outcome; however given the uncertainty and fluidity of the current situation, we feel that the best service to our membership is to begin looking forward to celebrating ALA’s 50th anniversary and building out a vibrant 2021 Annual Conference & Expo, which will be held April 25-28 at Chicago’s Navy Pier.

Featured Speakers

Dr. Catherine Sanderson
Manwell Family Professor of Life Sciences at Amherst College

Danelle Umstead
Blind Professional Skier and Three-Time Paralympic Medalist

Kevin Hines
Brain Health Advocate and Storyteller
