<p><span style="font-weight:400">The unique virtual structure of the
conference will allow participants to attend all sessions, dig deep into
a particular track, or mix and match a program that meets their needs.
Session speakers will be available live throughout the conference via scheduled office hours. </span><a rel="noopener" href="https://www.lafcon.org/tracks" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight:400">Conference topics</span></a><span style="font-weight:400">
will include: outreach, donor research, grants, legislation, coalition
building, digital tactics, and marketing. This year we're even adding a
book banning and censorship track where you'll meet some of the
organizations fighting against these unprecedented attacks.<br></span></p>
<p><strong>Immediate Support for the Library Industry</strong><strong><br></strong><span style="font-weight:400">In
order to build a strong advocacy network, EveryLibrary believes that we
need healthy library associations and support organizations. The
advocacy strategies learned at this conference will provide tools to
support the long-term health of libraries and associations, but
short-term financial help is needed too. We will donate $20 of every
registration to state library associations (or a national library
association if outside the United States) in order to help these
associations weather difficult financial times.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400"><span style="font-weight:400">LEARN MORE - <a href="http://LAFCON.ORG">LAFCON.ORG</a></span></span></p>
<p><strong>Converse, Share, and Prepare for the Future</strong><span style="font-weight:400"><br>Conversations and idea exchanges are
one of the most vital parts of any conference, and that should not
change even in a virtual setting. We will be using a brand new platform
for this year's conference to allow our attendees and speakers to talk
and share throughout the conference. We want this
conference to provide a dedicated community of colleagues and advocates
with the tools you need to take action and make sure that all libraries
can thrive and position themselves for stable funding in an uncertain
future. </span>
