ULA Annual Conference 2022

ULA wants to allow for physical distancing so rooms will have some lower capacity. Arrive early to your sessions. When a room reaches capacity, the doors will be closed to indicate that the session is full.

HIGHLIGHTS | Unforgettable Speakers, Exhibitors, New Products and Services, Fun and Entertaining Networking Activities and Social Events

TRACKS | General Librarianship, Public Librarianship, Academic Librarianship, Management & Leadership, Technical Services, and Youth Services

The Utah Library Association advocates for libraries and cultivates leadership development to promote library excellence for the Utah Library community.
