ACTAL CONFERENCE 2025
In-Person Conference 2025
November 5–7, 2025 | University of Tennessee, Knoxville
The ACTAL In-Person Conference seeks to bring together people that are working in creative technologies in academic libraries, broadly in the areas of media, making, and visualization, for community, conversations, and learning. We encourage participation from anyone who self-identifies as being interested in those areas.
Our conference program includes:
- November 5: Pre-conference sessions (special registration required), programming, welcome dinner for all
- November 6: Full day with workshops, presentations, posters, and off-campus dinner reception
- November 7: Morning presentations and posters, send-off lunch, and optional tours in the afternoon
Session descriptions will be available on August 22. More information about local logistics, including the full program, will be posted on our website and on Sched. Sign up for our mailing list to get updates.
We have a hotel block for ACTAL at Cumberland House Knoxville, with a reduced rate of $189/night. Use this link to book with our hotel block.
