The ALCTS Program Committee invites program and in-person and virtual pre-conference proposals for the ALA Annual 2014 conference in Las Vegas, Nevada. The dates of the conference are June 26-July 1, 2014.

 If you're interested in planning an in-person pre-conference for ALA Annual in 2014, please complete the appropriate web form (see below) by August 26, 2013, for first consideration.  Proposals will be accepted after that up through September 20, 2013.  Enter as much information as possible about the topic(s), the speakers, the intended audience. Please also include the preconference title. The committee and ALCTS staff will review your proposal, help refine your ideas and coordinate logistics.

 ALCTS offers both in-person and virtual pre-conferences for its annual conferences.  A virtual pre-conference consists of a series of 2-4 webinars in the weeks leading up to the Annual Conference.  The proposal deadline for virtual pre-conferences is February 7, 2014.
