NASIG 2025 Annual Conference

The NASIG Board is excited to announce that the 2025 annual conference will be held virtually! While we value the transformative potential of in-person events, and look forward to future opportunities for the NASIG community to come together in shared physical spaces, we are mindful of the financial and environmental impacts associated with holding an in-person conference every year.

Many NASIG members have shared their concerns over decreasing professional development funding, and we realize that many practitioners in the library world are going through system migrations, staff shortages, and other post-pandemic related disruptions. After taking these and other factors into consideration, the Board has determined that a 2025 virtual conference aligns best with the NASIG community’s interests, while also upholding NASIG’s commitment to sustainability and stewardship.

We are dedicated to making 2025’s virtual conference an event that will provide ample opportunities for knowledge sharing, networking, and both professional and organizational growth.
