with you! We had what we think is a record number of proposals this year and from them have chosen a program we hope will both educate and inspire you. From a panel discussion between librarians and publishers on diversity, inclusion and equity in scholarly
publishing and acquisitions, to the triumphs and tribulations of leading workplace culture change, to deciphering and visualizing data, there's a little something for everyone. Check out the program page for much more!</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<b>keynote speaker</b> this year <b>Alexia Hudson-Ward</b>, who is the Azariah Smith Root Director of Libraries for Oberlin College and Conservatory. Her talk is titled "Our precipice moment is here: Positioning our acquisitions for critical illumination within
the higher education landscape." As the higher education sector faces some of its toughest challenges in more than a century, academic libraries (and our acquisitions supposition) are at a choice point. Continue with the status quo and hope for better days
to come (optimistic but unlikely!) or embrace this precipice moment. We are faced with an unique opportunity to drive new strategies that ensure our acquisitions are firmly positioned for educational and pedagogical illumination.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
