The Wisconsin Association of Public Libraries (WAPL) Annual Conference Programming Committee seeks program proposals for the next in-person public library conference to be held May 11-13, 2022 at The Ingleside Hotel in Pewaukee, WI.
With a theme of INFINITE POSSIBILITIES, the goal of this year’s WAPL conference is that attendees will leave empowered to explore possibilities beyond their library and community.
Feedback suggests attendees are looking for programs on management, leadership, patron confidentiality, “boomer” awareness, patron apathy, technology, data-driven decision making, brand management and marketing, small library, genre and reader’s advisory, and sessions for trustees and support staff. Other suggested topics include change management, grant writing, handling large donations, inclusivity, and dreaming big.
The deadline for submission is February 25, 2022. All submitters will be notified of their acceptance status by March 11, 2022. Please use this Program Proposal Form to submit your proposals.
