ARL Association Meeting, Fall

The ARL Association Meeting, Fall, is a significant event designed for member representatives, focusing on advancing the strategic priorities of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL). This exclusive meeting will take place at The Westin Alexandria in Alexandria, Virginia. It is an invitation-only gathering, ensuring a select group of attendees who are integral to the ARL community can collaborate and share insights. The meeting is part of a biannual series, with the Fall Meeting traditionally hosted in Washington, DC, while the Spring Meeting rotates among various geographical regions. The event fosters an environment where members can engage with experts from both within and adjacent sectors of the knowledge industry, facilitating learning and peer interaction. Additionally, the Learning Summit, also an invitation-only event, will precede the main meeting on Sunday, October 4, providing further opportunities for in-depth discussions and knowledge exchange. Importantly, participation in the Association Meetings incurs no registration fees for members or invited guests, as the events are funded by dues. Receptions hosted during the meetings are often sponsored by regional libraries or external corporate sponsors, enhancing networking opportunities among attendees.
