    Registration is now open for the free and online Entrepreneurship and Libraries Conference International 2025: https://entrelib.org/elc-international-2025/

    The theme is ""How Libraries and Librarians around the World Support Entrepreneurship in their Communities and Campuses". Hear public, special, and academic librarians from four countries share their insights, and participate in our moderated networking discussions. 

    Speaker topics will include community engagement, recruiting community partners, equity issues, artificial intelligence, entrepreneurial mindset training in library schools, and more.

    Entrelib 2025 will also include a panel of specialists on how libraries continue to support cannabis entrepreneurship, an update to our groundbreaking 2021 workshop.

    Thank you to our sponsors PrivCo and Simply Analytics for enabling us to keep ELC events free. All sessions except the networking discussions will be recorded and shared.
