It is that time of year again! NDLA is excited to announce our call for proposals for this year’s Annual Tri-Conference, which will be in Grand Forks at the Alerus Center on October 1-3 in conjunction with SDLA and MPLA. 

We are seeking dynamic and engaging presentations from passionate library professionals like you! We are looking for session proposals, lightning round proposals, and poster session proposals.

We encourage proposals on a wide range of topics related to librarianship, including (but not limited to):
