2026 Annual Conference
The Virginia Library Association’s 2026 Annual Conference will be held in Norfolk, Virginia from Sunday, October 18 - Tuesday, October 20 at Hilton Norfolk the Main. This year's theme, Caring for Our Collective, focuses on how library workers can create a culture of collective compassion and shared responsibility. Libraries are known as places that provide care to their communities, but who cares for the people who make this possible? Join us in our focus on strategies, structures, and relationships that strengthen our support system - both externally and internally.
General registration opens June 1, 2026.
