Core Forum, an annual conference for the American Library Association's newest division, Core: Leadership, Infrastructure, Futures is being held in Louisville, Kentucky November 18-20, 2026.
Last year's Core Forum Preservation Track included 2 pre-conference sessions, 3 breakout sessions, and 2 posters. We'd love to see the preservation community represented again this year!
"I came back to this year because last year I was feeling burnt out and Core Forum reignited why I got into this work," Diana Dulek, 2025 poster presenter.
"The broad array of perspectives at Core Forum means I always leave the conferences feeling more knowledgeable and invigorated to keep learning about our field, and learning about the work of others has been enlightening!" Arthur Hall, 2025 pre-conference workshop presenter.
Proposals are due Sunday, March 8. Check out the Core Forum Call for Proposals for more information.
