Wisconsin Library Association Annual Conference 2026

It was held at Madison Marriott West in Middleton, Wisconsin.

The identified audience was Wisconsin library professionals who are WLA members.

It was most useful for Wisconsin library staff and WLA members who wanted a statewide gathering, since it ran four days at the Madison Marriott West with a theme of community and speakers including chef Luke Zahm, poet Dasha Kelly Hamilton and illustrator Aaron Boyd. Librarians from other states or those seeking specialized technical training may have found it less relevant, as the facts pointed to a state-focused audience and a program with notable general-interest and community speakers.

Library conferences usually call for business casual, with cardigans, slacks and comfortable shoes common, and layers are sensible for a Wisconsin October.
