AI @ ALA 2026 Big List of Sessions

  • 1.  AI @ ALA 2026 Big List of Sessions

    Posted 6 hours ago

    Hi all,

    ALA's annual conference is nearly upon us again, with a whole mess of sessions talking about AI! If you poked around the scheduler you may have already found the "Timely Topics" section that calls out 20 sessions, but by my count there are at least 45 sessions, as well as 30 poster sessions

    With apologies for the late turn around, here's a Big Honkin' Google Docs List of all the AI-focused or AI-related sessions that I found while going through the schedule:

    I welcome anyone who's hosting a session to pop into this thread and give folks a rundown on why they should skip out on other things to go to your session. There's quite a lot of conflicting things, so now's your chance to make the case!

    Thanks all, travel safe, and feel free to drop me a line if you want to get coffee or a meal in Chicago!
