2020 ARSL Conference Proposal Application
We invite you to submit pre-conference and breakout session proposals for the 2020 ARSL Conference held in Wichita, Kansas, on September 30 - October 3, 2020. The conference theme is "SOAR with Libraries: Sharing Our Amazing Resources." Learn more about the conference here: https://arsl.info/2020-conference-main-page/

Please use this form to submit proposals for both pre-conferences and breakout sessions. Due to the volume of proposals received, please limit yourself to two program submissions. Please note that ARSL will not be offering presenters registration discounts for breakout sessions.

FIRM DEADLINE: Proposals are due by 10pm Central Time, Friday, March 27, 2020. Deadlines are in place so that the process goes smoothly and is equitable for everyone. We are unable to make exceptions or extensions.

UPDATED DEADLINE: In recognition of the extreme additional duties and protocols related to the COVID-19 outbreaks, the deadline for proposals has been extended to March 27th at 10pm CT.  In order to allow enough time for the selection process, we will consider this deadline a FIRM DEADLINE.

SELECTION TIMELINE: Proposal selection takes time, please be patient as the program team (all volunteers) goes through the process. We hope to notify all selected presenters by May 1, 2020.
