Dear ARLIS/NA Members, Friends, and Colleagues:

How should ARLIS/NA conferences evolve in the years ahead?

We’re inviting you to share your perspective through the ARLIS/NA Conference Participation & Preferences Survey—a short (5–7 minute) opportunity to help shape how our community gathers, learns, and connects.

As the Society looks to the future, we are exploring questions like:

• How often should conferences be held?

• What is the right balance between in-person and virtual formats?

• How can we make participation more accessible and affordable?

Your input will directly inform future conference planning and help ensure ARLIS/NA continues to meet the needs of its members.

Please submit your responses by April 15, 2026.

Take the survey

Responses are anonymous and will be reported in aggregate (form will not capture emails or IP Addresses). Findings will be reviewed by the Executive Board, Membership Committee, and Conference Planning Committee to guide next steps.
