Delaware Libraries LAFCON Opt-In - Library Advocacy and Funding Conference

Delaware Complementary Registration Page 

Learn New Advocacy and Funding Strategies!
Delaware Libraries staff, Friends, and Boards are invited to attend LAFCON 2024, the Library Advocacy and Funding Conference, to learn advocacy and library funding strategies from experts from some of the largest organizations, campaigns, and elections.

This is a complimentary free registration for members of the Delaware Libraries community. You will have full access to the entire conference. Please note that your status as a Delaware library staff member, board member, or friend will be reviewed and confirmed after you complete your registration. We reserve the right to disqualify inaccurate registrations. 

You'll have the opportunity to explore three days of content focused on navigating the world of politics and building voter and public support for library funding. The unique virtual structure of the conference will allow participants to attend all sessions, dig deep into a particular track, or mix and match a program that meets their needs. 

Conference topics will include outreach, donor research, grants, legislation, coalition building, digital tactics, and marketing. We have an expanded track focused on navigating the book banning movement currently sweeping the United States.

Converse, Share, and Prepare for the Future
Conversations and idea exchanges are one of the most vital parts of any conference - and that should not change even in a virtual setting. We will be using the Whova conference platform to allow our attendees and speakers to talk and share throughout the conference.

Those channels will remain active for three months after the conference to allow everyone to keep in touch. We want this conference to provide a dedicated community of colleagues and advocates with the tools to take action and ensure that all libraries emerge from the current crisis stronger and more prepared for the future.
