2025 CONFERENCE RECAP

“The sessions provided me with tangible tools, skills, and ideas that I can bring back to my own work and apply directly in my library setting."

“I loved everything, from meeting everybody to attending all the events, all the tours and reception. I had a wonderful, wonderful time and experience. Thank you so giving me this scholarship opportunity.”

“The biggest takeaways for me were the exposure to innovative technologies shaping libraries, especially Dr. Carter’s presentation on holographic videos, which emphasized the future of immersive learning experiences.”

“One of the aspects I appreciated most was its workshop-oriented format, which
encouraged hands-on participation and required that we actually used the technologies being discussed”
