SLA 2025 Annual Conference + Expo


This year's theme is “Creative Transformation”, with programs and activities designed to foster innovative thinking and enhance your skills to meet the challenges, demands, and opportunities you face in the quickly changing information landscape.

Sessions will focus on evolving tools and technologies, as well as shifting professional and institutional cultures and practices, domestically and abroad. Attendees will engage in discussions about both the shared and unique ramifications of these changes to their specialties, their abilities to impact them, and the myriad perspectives and responses available to them.


Featuring 3.5 days of educational sessions, business meetings, social events and opportunities to learn about the newest information products and services, SLA’s 2025 Annual Conference will provide you with: 

• Fresh Perspectives on core information management topics

• Better Understanding of developing trends and hot topics

• Ideas and Insights you can put to immediate use in your job

• New and Stronger Connections with key industry colleagues

• Greater Awareness of the latest information resources on the market

• Opportunities to make new connections in the information management landscape

RESOURCE SHARING + NETWORKING
SLA's annual conferences are designed as a space for learning and sharing. To that end, we're bringing the experience for the second year in a row to a university campus. In June 2025, we're thrilled to bring it all together at the University of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

We'll share our knowledge with one another within Pitt's hallowed halls of learning. Social activities and meals are offered on campus and a large swath of dormitory housing and discounted hotel rooms are available for your stay.
