The 2025 Midwest Business Librarian Summit is scheduled to occur in person on Wed, July 9th, at Purdue University! This is an IN-PERSON event held at the Purdue University West Lafayette, IN, campus.
Are you a business librarian or liaison, or someone who wants to know more about business librarianship? Join us for a day-long summit to discuss what we are all working on, what resources we love, teaching strategies, and more! MBLS is structured but informal, with ample time to get to know one another. The summit is FREE and will include on-campus parking at Purdue. This event is open to anyone with an interest in business librarianship, not just those located here in the Midwest. This year, we are excited to welcome Kenny Wilson, Purdue University Director of Artificial Intelligence and Automation, as our keynote speaker!

CALL FOR LIGHTNING TALKS
Can you talk for just 5 minutes about what you've been doing as a business librarian? We're asking those registered for MBLS to apply to present a lightning talk! It could be an interesting project, a workflow improvement, a negotiation strategy, a resource discovery, an innovative approach to your job, or something completely different. As long as it relates to business librarianship, we at MBLS want to hear about it. You only need your title and abstract at this point in the process.
Lightning Presentation Call-Out Schedule:
- June 13 - Abstract Submission Deadline
- June 20- Acceptance Announcement
- June 27 - Slides Due
- July 9 - MBLS Presentations (in person)
