About Association Meetings
Association Meetings are held twice a year in spring and fall. The Spring Meeting is hosted in rotating geographical regions and the Fall Meeting is held in Washington, DC.
Association Meetings are invitation-only opportunities for member representatives to meet in person to advance the strategic priorities of ARL, to interact with experts from within and adjacent spaces in the knowledge sector, and to learn from and with each other as peers.
Association Meetings are dues-funded with no registration fees for members or invited guests. Receptions are sponsored by regional host libraries or external corporate sponsors.
