Annual Conference

The Midwest Chapter conducts an Annual Conference each fall. The conference addresses current issues relevant to health science librarians through a variety of formats — panel presentations, formal papers, and informal discussion groups. In addition, each meeting offers continuing education courses and vendor exhibits.

Upcoming Conferences

The 2024 Annual Conference, "Together, Wherever", will be held virtually on October 9-11. To submit a proposal or find out more about this year's conference, visit the 2024 Virtual Conference site.
