Entrepreneurship and Libraries Conference (Entrelib) 2022

  • 1.  Entrepreneurship and Libraries Conference (Entrelib) 2022

    Posted Jul 27, 2022 04:50 PM

    Entrepreneurship and Libraries Conference (Entrelib) 2022 will be free, fully virtual, and international in scope! This iteration of the Entrelib conference will explore approaches libraries have undertaken to support social entrepreneurship. What can we learn from libraries' engagement with social entrepreneurship from elsewhere? Social entrepreneurship is a globally relevant issue that is not centered in the global north and/or western view of capitalism, lending itself to an international conference. This, along with social entrepreneurship as a significant way to bring about economic justice, is of particular interest to younger generations, who are our libraries' (and world's) future leaders and changemakers. Due to the diverse nature of social entrepreneurship, the conference committee is open to all perspectives on this topic. 

    Happening virtually Nov. 1st & 2nd, 2022, Entrelib is open to the academic, public, and special library community, as well as entrepreneurial ecosystem partners.


    To read the full call for proposals, submit a proposal, and learn more about the conference, please visit https://entrelib.org/.

    Proposal submission deadline: August 31st, 2022

    Successful proposals will be notified by early October 2022.
