The 2026 edition was held at Columbus GA Convention & Trade Center in Columbus, GA.
Librarians and library staff from across the state attend.
It is most useful for Georgia librarians and library staff looking for in-person professional development and networking, with a keynote by Dr. Nicole Cooke of the University of South Carolina and a preconference on building legislative influence before the budget session. Library leaders and advocates will get the most from the preconference; staff from outside Georgia, or anyone wanting a virtual option, would get less since no virtual session was offered for the 2026 edition.
Library association conferences usually call for business casual, such as slacks, cardigans or knit tops, with comfortable shoes for days of sessions, and some people dress up a little for the keynote.
