CFP: Third Annual Teaching & Learning with AI Conference (Orlando, Florida - May 2025)

The University of Central Florida Libraries' is pleased to announce the third annual Teaching & Learning with AI conference, which features a Library Track, to be held May 28-30, 2025, in Orlando, Florida. The call for proposals is now open and we invite academic librarians and library workers to submit a proposal to the Library Track.

Call for Proposals

Participants from academic libraries are encouraged to submit proposals. Individual and team proposals are equally welcome. The conference is in-person only and the Library Track has two formats:

  • 25-minute interactive presentations for sharing examples of library implementations or practices related to AI in academic libraries, or that challenge participants to discuss deeper, not-easily-answered questions about AI in libraries 
  • Poster sessions can be on any topic related to AI in Libraries and may be digital or print

Example topics for the Library Track 

  • AI-assisted content and metadata creation 
  • Ethical considerations related to AI and its use in libraries 
  • Library and institutional policies around the use of AI 
  • Professional development and support in learning AI in libraries 
  • AI literacy and critical thinking with AI 
  • Prompt engineering in libraries 
  • Intellectual property issues related to incorporating licensed content into AI and text and data mining projects
  • Incorporating AI into library applications and processes 
  • Using AI with open access and open educational resources 
  • AI and digital scholarship, research support, and instruction services 
Note: Because this is primarily a sharing conference, priority will be given to proposals that have clear ideas for takeaways that participants can use in their own libraries. 

The deadline to submit a proposal is 11:59 p.m. on Friday, January 17, 2025. Acceptance decisions will be sent in mid-February.
