Many of you have heard over the years how valuable the national Power Up Conference is. A new twist to this in-person conference held biennially in Madison is a virtual conference planned for February 13-14, 2025. The same great content and the same great level of speakers will focus on youth librarians developing leadership, supporting your team and learning new skills.
Now you can attend the virtual conference from the comfort of your work place or home. The conference uses a sliding fee scale to make it accessible for more people. And with it's focus on youth-centered librarianship, this conference offers some of the best and most consistently excellent content to grow your leadership. You can check the keynote and program descriptions/schedule here.
There is now call for proposals for 5 minute lightning round mini-presentations to highlight a creative program you have done or are doing. Go ahead and shine a light on creative and innovative programming you are doing and send your proposal in today (deadline September 15)!
P.S. Conference registration will begin in October.
