Dear PACRAO colleagues,
As Mia Dolan shares in La La Land, ‘People love what other people are passionate about.’
Join us in Hollywood, California November 8-11, 2026 for the 2026 PACRAO Conference as we gather “Among the Stars,” celebrating the passion, innovation, and dedication that drive our work and inspire those around us. Just as stars illuminate the night sky, your ideas and contributions help guide and inspire our profession forward. We look forward to coming together again this year to share insights, elevate best practices, and celebrate the impactful work happening across our institutions.
We invite you to submit a session proposal for the 2026 conference. As in past years, experience, functional knowledge, innovative solutions, and research from our members will be shared in a variety of engaging formats, including:
- Presentation (60 minutes)
- Panel (60 minutes)
- Roundtable Discussion (60 minutes)
-
Lightning Round (25-30 minutes)
New for 2026! Lightning Round sessions are short, high-impact presentations designed to share innovative ideas, emerging practices, or quick insights in a concise format. These fast-paced sessions are ideal for highlighting a single concept, tool, or takeaway that attendees can immediately apply in their work.
