The UALC Professional Development Committee (PDC) is calling for proposals for the Fall Professional Development Retreat! 

This year’s retreat, “Community and Collaboration: Pursuing Connection in the Age of Technology,” will be held at Salt Lake Community College (SLCC) Taylorsville Redwood Campus on Friday, October 16th, 2026. 

The UALC PDC looking for presentations, panels, discussions, or active learning opportunities of 30 or 60 minutes or 15-minute lightning talks. Presentations may be made in-person or remotely and will be recorded. 

 Proposals should suit the theme of “Community and Collaboration: Pursuing Connection in the Age of Technology” which may include (but should not be limited to) sessions about: 

  • Providing library services which help to build communities in person and/or online 
  • Collaborating with staff, students, faculty, and/or colleagues in unique or inventive ways 
  • Connecting patrons with innovative technological services 
  • Balancing ethical, moral, privacy, and/or environmental considerations when engaging with technologies such as AI 

We recognize the value of lived experience in addition to other forms of expertise, and encourage creative proposals from all library personnel, including student employees and members of traditionally underrepresented groups. 

Please submit your proposal on or before May 29, 2026, at https://tinyurl.com/UALCPD2026Retreat. 

Selected speakers will be notified around August 15, 2026. Learn more on the retreat’s website.
