This year’s event, AI in Libraries: Conversations and Connections in the Capital, will explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping the work of information professionals.
As AI tools continue to advance rapidly, libraries are exploring new ways to understand, use, and assess the potential impact of these technologies on library services, including research support, instruction, collections, and user services. This event will provide an opportunity to share experiences, discuss emerging practices, and reflect on how libraries can respond to these challenges and keep pace with this disruptive technological change.
We invite information professionals, librarians, archivists, researchers, library technicians, and students to submit proposals that share their experiences, research, case studies, or practical initiatives related to the use and impact of AI in their work.
By connecting colleagues across academic, government, and public sectors, this event aims to create space for open conversation about emerging tools, challenges, and opportunities related to AI in libraries.
We invite proposals (in French, English, or a bilingual format) for lightning talks (10 minutes) or for panel presentations (40 minutes to an hour).
Proposals should be between 250 and 300 words and include a title, an abstract, and speaker information (full name, title, affiliation, and contact information).
Proposal submission deadline: April 8, 2026
Notifications of acceptance: April 17, 2026
The call for submissions is now closed.
