We are looking for thought-provoking, innovative, and practical presentations that will inspire our community to navigate the ever-evolving world of digital resources and technologies.

Some suggested topics include (but are not limited to): * Alma Digital: Maximizing Alma’s capabilities to support digital resource management. * Digital Resource Management: Successful projects, workflows, and best practices. * Digital Preservation: Tools, techniques, and strategies for preserving digital collections. * Alma Digital Integrations: Innovative integrations of Alma with other systems and platforms. * Digital Discovery: Enhancing user experience and discovery of digital content.

As digital initiatives professionals, you integrate technologies that expand access to tools, concepts, and resources, championing your patrons’ needs. We believe that your presentations will help drive innovation and foster new ways to serve your communities. Even if your proposal doesn't seem to fit perfectly with the theme at first glance, don’t hesitate to submit! We’re excited to see how your work contributes to this dynamic conversation. Your insights could provide valuable lessons and spark fresh ideas for your peers across the community.
