ALA 2026 Annual Conference & Exhibition (ALA Annual) returns to Chicago to celebrate a milestone and shape the future of libraries. Join us for more momentum, more meaningful in-person connections, and more practical ideas you can bring back to your community. Experience the energy, insight, and collaboration libraries need now.
Meet change-makers, idea-builders, and library leaders at the ALA 2026 Annual Conference & Exhibition as we mark ALA’s 150th Anniversary and look boldly to the future. This milestone gathering will bring together thousands of library professionals, educators, authors, publishers, and advocates from around the globe.
Together, we’ll celebrate libraries—and ignite the next era of innovation and access—through future-focused learning, powerful keynotes, transformative resources, and an overall commitment to building libraries that reflect the adaptive, inclusive, and community-driven world we want to live in.
Be part of the celebration. Be part of the future.
Come and say Hi – Brandy and Renee are on Booth 1514.
