AALL Annual Meeting & Conference Program Proposal Collection

Welcome! The Annual Meeting Program Committee (AMPC) is seeking program proposals for next year's conference.

The AMPC has compiled a list of "must have" program topics that AALL members have identified as being vital to their professional education. We are looking for proposals that cover these topics, but if you have an idea for a different program, please submit that as well. As you prepare your program description and takeaways, consider how they may relate to the AALL 2024 Conference theme of Lead.Innovate.Transform.

AALL is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts within the Association and in the profession. We encourage proposers to consider working with speakers and panelists with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and demographics.

In an effort to have a diverse group of speakers and thought leaders on educational programs, we encourage an individual be involved with a maximum of two programs.

Tips for Writing a Program Proposal

Explore the proposer resources for tips on how to craft a great proposal. Your proposal should answer the following questions:

• What are the takeaways attendees will be able to use and apply to perform their jobs better?
• How would you describe the problem/opportunity/scenario/challenge that reflects the takeaways?
• Who needs to attend this program?
• What methods do you plan to employ to engage attendees and keep the energy level up?
• Who should deliver this content and why are they qualified to do it?

Once you create your proposer profile (different from your AALL member profile), you can develop your proposal(s) in your own virtual workspace. You will be able to save your work and complete it later. You can share your draft proposal(s) with colleagues prior to submission, too.

REMINDER: All proposals must be submitted through this site no later than 11:59 p.m. (PDT), Friday, October 6, 2023.
