12:00 - 3:00 pm US - Pacific Time

ATTENDING: The conference is being held on the Zoom platform. Please test to make sure that your computer or mobile device is configured for Zoom by visiting https://zoom.us/test. There is a link to support services at that site if you have any difficulties.

RECORDINGS: Recordings of the conference sessions will be available at Library20.com the week after the conference. We will send a reminder to registered attendees when the recordings are available.

EVALUATIONS & CERTIFICATES OF ATTENDANCE: You can submit evaluations and request a certificate of attendance for any session or for the conference as a whole HERE.

SCHEDULE: Please note that the schedule is subject to change, so please refresh this page when you visit it. The links for the individual Zoom rooms get posted here on the day of the conference and available to those who are registered.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: It is CRITICAL that you not share any of the specific Zoom room links in any way. If someone wants to attend the conference, have them register here. When the individual Zoom links are shared through email, discussion forums, or social media, we inevitably have to deal with room spammers who can cause significant disruptions to sessions.
