We are excited to announce that the Call for Papers for the 2024 Charleston Conference is officially open! This year’s theme of “The Sky’s the Limit” is a rallying call for innovation, exploration, and limitless possibilities. This is your opportunity to contribute to one of the most dynamic conferences in the library and scholarly publishing industry.
This year’s conference will be held in beautiful downtown Charleston November 11-15, with the virtual conference following online December 6-13.
Session formats include:
Plenary Sessions — General sessions of a broad interest for the entire group of conference attendees.
Neapolitan Sessions — Designed to be of interest to a broad audience, but drilling down a bit more into specifics than the plenary sessions, these are “mini plenaries” that are run simultaneously.
Lively Discussions — These 60-minute talks are scheduled during the lunchtime hours, and are intended to include a brief presentation followed by lively discussion.
Concurrent Sessions — This is a standard 40-minute session with a single speaker or group of speakers in a traditional presentation style.
Stopwatch Sessions — Presented in only 6 minutes each, these sessions are scheduled during a concurrent session time slot with 5 presentations back to back.
Innovation Lightning Rounds — These 10-minute sessions on innovative or entrepreneurial thinking in libraries feature five 10-minute presentations back-to-back.
Poster Sessions — In-person posters will have a physical poster board and a time on the agenda. Virtual posters will feature poster PDFs and video presentations available throughout the event, with a live Q&A session.
Submit your proposal HERE before the July 10 deadline.
We encourage submissions that offer practical insights, innovative thinking, diverse perspectives, and contribute to ongoing industry discussions, and promote active learning among attendees.
Decision notifications will be sent out in early August.
