ARL events bring together individuals in research libraries from across North America and beyond with thought leaders and research and learning decision-makers to inform, shape, and act on timely and critical topics. Our events reach hundreds of individuals each year, most of whom are the ultimate decision-makers in their roles or the experts in their organizations.
Your support provides an opportunity for emerging leaders to participate, to engage with experts, and to network with peers. These events have a long-lasting impact within institutions, across the profession, and within the research and learning community.
ARL welcomes event sponsorships for our public as well as some member-only events. Our planned events include:
- 2024 President’s Institute (public): The President’s Institute is the evolution of the public event previously known as the Fall Forum. The inaugural institute in 2024 will focus on sustainability.
- IDEAL 2024 (public): The ARL Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility in Libraries & Archives (IDEAL) Conference fosters awareness and appreciation of workplace equity, diversity, and inclusion issues through the exploration of exemplary practice, contemporary theory, thought leadership, and strategy development for all those in the academic and public library, archives, and museum sectors.
- 2024 Library Assessment Conference (public): This biennial conference builds and supports the wide-reaching community of library assessment practitioners and researchers who have responsibility or interest in this broad field.
- 2023–2024 Association Meeting receptions (member representatives and invited guests): Member representatives and guests meet two times a year for informal and formal sessions with experts. Reception sponsorships are welcome.
Your sponsorship could support:
- The event in general
- A keynote speaker or session
- A signature event or meal
- An equity sponsorship to cover travel or the conference fee
ARL will recognize your sponsorship with:
- Acknowledgement in print and digital program materials
