2019 OPAL Annual Conference

Thursday, Aug 1 - Opening Reception
Friday, Aug 2 - Conference

Registration is closed.

The annual OPAL Conference is hosted by a member institution each August. Many initiatives and long-term professional relationships have been forged over the years as we meet to connect, share research, best practices and problem solve among not-for-profit, private academic libraries. Members also enjoy opportunities for face-to-face conversations and a supportive, collegial atmosphere in a variety of formal sessions and informal social events. Non-members are welcome to attend the conference and submit presentation proposals.
