You may be clear on the value of attending ALA’s Annual Conference & Expo, however, securing funding from your firm or organization might require a little extra effort.

That’s why we have put together this Justification Toolkit to help you build the business case for your approving manager to send you to Seattle, Washington!

The 2023 health and safety protocols for ALA’s in-person conferences will be finalized later this year. In the meantime, please be aware of the 2022 requirements, which are that all participants will be required to provide proof of full vaccination against COVID-19 prior to entry. Proof of a negative COVID-19 test administered no more than 48 hours prior to entry will be accepted in lieu of vaccination proof.

Test results or vaccination proof must contain your name and be accompanied by a matching piece of government issued ID. Learn more about acceptable forms of proof. Any attendee unwilling to comply with the above requirements will not be granted access to the event, nor will any refunds or expense reimbursements be issued. We will continue to closely monitor public health guidance in addition to local, state and federal laws and will provide further information as needed.
