The Core Forum will take place November 14-16, 2024, in Minneapolis, Minnesota! Registration is now open!

The Core Forum is a 3-day in-person event that brings together decisionmakers and practitioners from the ALA division that focuses on:

  • Access & Equity
  • Buildings & Operations
  • Leadership & Management
  • Metadata & Collections
  • Preservation
  • Technology

Our program tracks and discussions are structured around these six topics, particularly the ways in which they integrate together. Areas that used to be separate and siloed now complement each other to explore and collaborate in all the areas where these topics overlap. Check out the schedule of sessions.

Library services & technology vendors, service providers, and open source projects are welcome to attend. Learn about becoming a Sponsor or Exhibitor.
