The moment is approaching! What moment, you ask? The moment when the gates of opportunity open as registration for the ILA Annual Conference commences!
This year’s ILA Annual Conference is scheduled for October 24-26 (Tuesday-Thursday), at the BOS Center in Springfield, IL.
Prepare to be captivated at this year’s conference, as the conference program committee has curated an extraordinary line up of sessions and speakers that will undoubtedly make this year’s conference one of the most remarkable to date.
We are honored to have Dr. Emily J.M. Knox, a distinguished author and associate professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, as this year’s keynote speaker. But that’s not all! We have another treat in store for you with author and Caldecott medalist Jason Chin joining us as the speaker for the popular Youth Services Breakfast. Stay tuned as we unveil more speakers soon!
In addition to the exceptional sessions and captivating speakers, there will be thought-provoking poster sessions, an opportunity to collaborate with the Central Illinois Food Bank on a meaningful community project, and the Buddy System will make its return, to foster connections and support among attendees, creating a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere for all.
