2025 Sask. Libraries Conference Call for Session Proposals Entry Form

Please review the following information before filling out the conference session proposal form below:

All sessions will be held in-person at the TCU Place in Saskatoon. Submissions from within Saskatchewan and from outside the province are very welcome. Please note the cost of travel and accommodation are the responsibility of the presenter. The Conference Program Committee will review all submissions. The committee may request modifications or changes to your submission in order to more closely align with the theme and the overall program schedule.

You will receive an email confirming your participation in the conference, should your proposal be selected, in December 2024. Program changes must be requested within the 2-week period following the confirmation of your presentation. Submissions should reflect the conference theme of “Grow with Your Library.” Sessions are welcomed in a range of formats and intended for various audiences.

LONG-FORM SESSIONS (50 minutes): This format best suits panel discussions, interactive sessions including audience participation, or joint presentations from 2 or more institutions. Any audience Q & A will be included in the 50-minute session time limit.

SHORT-FORM SESSIONS (20 minutes): These sessions will be stacked in a block with related content. Regardless of length, these sessions should be innovative, thought-provoking, and engaging. Any audience Q & A will be included in the 20-minute session time limit. This is a great opportunity for first-time conference presenters.

If you have a proposal that does not fit into the above formats, please contact us to discuss your ideas by emailing info@saskla.ca.
