Mark your calendars for AMICAL 2025, which will take place online May 19–28, 2025!
AMICAL’s annual conference aims to bring colleagues across the consortium to work on issues important to libraries, pedagogy and academic technology at American international liberal arts institutions.
The majority of the program will consist of sessions proposed by members. Whether you’re a faculty member, librarian, or technologist, you’ll find opportunities to share inspiring work, discuss common challenges, and develop practical solutions alongside colleagues who understand your context.
Call for Proposals
The call for proposals is now open through February 13.
We invite proposals that address the following topics in ways relevant to AMICAL members:
- Responses to & engagement with AI in teaching & learning
- Campus-level AI strategy & implementation
- Digital pedagogy & scholarship (incl. digital liberal arts, oral history, virtual exchange)
- Leadership in libraries, centers for learning & teaching, or academic technology
- Information & other literacies (AI, digital, data, media, etc.)
- Open education & OERs
- Library resources, services and technology
- Support for research & scholarship (incl. open access)
- Teaching writing & writing centers
(Note that proposals using the “Interactive session” format must also submit a draft proposal by 24 January 2025.)
We’ll be holding a number of information sessions. Here are the registration links for the first two:
- Info Session #1 – 17 December 2024, 11:00 Paris time (see local time)
- Info Session #2 – 9 January 2025, 11:00 Paris time (see local time)
You can sign up to either of these sessions to learn about the available formats and how to submit a strong proposal. We will also answer any questions you may have and offer advice on any proposal ideas you wish to share for feedback.
Suggest a keynote speaker
As we craft the program, we’re also seeking suggestions for keynote speakers who can offer inspiration and insight to our group on high-level, future-facing topics.
Our recent survey of AMICAL member interests highlighted the importance of learning and sharing on the topics above. Help us build a conference program that answers that need!
