The NYLA Annual Conference will take place Wednesday, November 3 – Saturday,
November 6 at the OnCenter in Syracuse. (For those keeping track it has
been 24 years since the NYLA conference was held in Syracuse! 1997)
NYLA2021 will hold all the programs and activities you know and love about
the NYLA conference, and we will be meeting or exceeding all safety protocols
to ensure that everyone remains safe throughout the event.
Recognizing that some members of the library community may not be comfortable
or available to attend an in-person NYLA conference this year; and building on
what we learned about delivering a virtual conference in 2020, NYLA is also
mounting a virtual conference.
The 2021 NYLA VIRTUAL Conference will take place on Thursday, October 28,
and Friday, October 29. This two-day event will include live virtual
programs, as well as a catalog of pre-recorded OnDemand content.
Those who register for the in-person conference will automatically be
registered for full access to the preceding virtual conference.
In order to accommodate ‘comfortable capacities’ for our program, some
content will be delivered during the virtual conference and some in-person.
While some of the content from the in-person conference may be recorded and
made available online at a later date, none of the in-person events will be
live-streamed.
