The most-awaited event for reputable librarians, academics, authors, and bookworms offers offline and online experiences for every participant. Digital platforms will make the encounter as exciting as being at the event yourself.

The organizers of the 2022 ALA Annual assured safety for the attendees of the Conference and Exhibition at the Walter E. Convention Center in Washington, DC. They make sure to follow CDC health protocols to protect every participant onsite. In case you still choose to stay in the comfort of your home, the American Library Association has prepared virtual alternatives where you can join and experience the event. 

Before discussing the particulars of the ALA Annual’s digital experience, ReadersMagnet, a top marketing agency for self-published books, has an Online Companion Event as well. OCE is a virtual counterpart of the physical book displays at the ReadersMagnet’s Booth 1147.

The OCE will showcase a mini-bio, book information, video teasers, bookstore links, and more data about the featured authors. You can access the platform through The Festival of Storytellers’ website. Feel free to contact us to learn more.

On the other hand, the 2022 ALA Annual has prepared the following online options for you:

• 4 Main Stage sessions
• 2 Virtual Speakers
• 43 Education sessions
• 13 News You Can Use sessions
• 9 ALA Governance Meetings

The online sessions will allow you to hear from more than 300 authors and illustrators on eight LIVE stages. You’ll also be able to listen to authors who will podcast their innovative processes at the Live from the 25 Podcast booth. The Festival of Shorts will let you watch trailers and short films and the Now Showing @ ALA Film Program will play films and documentaries that could teach you relevant information.

Channing Tatum is one of the digital experience conference speakers. Aside from being an actor, producer, and director, Tatum is also a New York Times bestselling author you might want to listen to during the ALA Annual. Two other celebrated authors, Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan, will be also speaking on June 26, 2022. You can visit here to learn more.

The digital world bridges the gap in communication. Whether you are at the conference or you’re in your office during the exhibit, you can experience the event with your smartphone, laptop, or personal computer.
