Call for Proposals - NASIG Autumn 2025

We are pleased to announce that the NASIG Autumn virtual conference is scheduled to take place online October 14-16, 2025, and the call for proposals is now open.

We are accepting proposals for the following session types:

• Short (7 minutes): fitting for concise overviews or burgeoning ideas
• Medium (15 minutes): perfect for case studies
• Long (30 minutes): ideal for more detailed presentations

All of the session types are ideal for demonstrations. If you have an idea that would be better suited for a longer session (1 hour), a panel discussion, or a workshop, please consider submitting your idea when the call for proposals for the 2026 NASIG Annual Conference comes out later this year.

Please submit your proposals by Friday, August 22, 2025.

Whether you are new to libraries, working towards your MLIS, or have many years of experience, we are interested in learning more about your work with:

• New or evolving tools, such as AI
• Open Source library systems
• Collection development and assessment
• Licensing trends and workflows
• Cataloging practices
• And more!

Sessions may present a report of a research study, an analysis of a practical problem-solving effort, new findings related to a previously shared NASIG webinar or conference presentation, or a description of an innovative program that may be of interest to the NASIG community. Demonstrations are particularly effective in the virtual format. View the NASIG 2024 schedule and recordings to get an idea of topics selected in the past. This is not an opportunity to promote or denigrate a specific vendor, product, or service.

NASIG Autumn is an entirely virtual event, open to speakers and attendees globally. Speakers will receive free registration. We intend to make NASIG Autumn content more widely available after the conference. Additional details will be included in the Speaker MOU.

The deadline for submission is Friday, August 22, 2025, after which our planning committee will convene and review all submissions. If you need an extension, or any assistance with your submission, please do not hesitate to contact us at nasig-autumn@nasig.org.
