Tiredof the same old conference presentations? Sick of spending all
your travel funding at one time?

Join the movement for affordable and useful professional development
for librarians at The Collective 2016: March 3-4, 2016 in Knoxville,
Tennessee.

Here’s how we’re different:

—This is an interactive gathering with emphases on skill-building,
tangible takeaways, and networking. No “CV filler” or “sage on a
stage” presentations here!

—Conference costs are subsidized for all attendees through our
corporate sponsorships, making ours an uncharacteristically low-cost
professional gathering. We've also designed the event (i.e.
registration, hotel, etc.) so that those within driving distance of
Knoxville should be able to cover all associated costs of attendance
for under $500.

—There is no vendor “expo” area at The Collective. We aim to create an
event climate where vendors are treated as colleagues who can learn
and collaborate with us to better serve our users. We think developing
relationships is far more effective than hard sales and we believe
sessions should contain content, not sales pitches.

Hope to see you there!
