2026 President’s Institute: Unlock Innovation

The 2026 ARL President’s Institute will equip library leaders at all levels with practical skills, tools and mindsets to foster sustainable innovation. Stop chasing fads or trends and invest in learning about processes and practices that improve services, optimize workflows, support critical dialogue, and build partnerships within and across institutions over the long term.

With interactive workshops on the full life cycle of innovation—from ideation to pitch to execution and sustainability—participants will leave with actionable tools and strategies to advance innovation in their institutions.

Featuring keynote experiences by Masud Khokhar and Lee Vinsel, the Institute is designed for library leaders at all levels who want to gain the skills to cultivate and champion innovation and an innovation mindset in libraries. Join us Wednesday–Thursday, February 11–12, 2026, in Chicago-Rosemont!
