Call for contributions
Together26 is an opportunity for us all to share and celebrate some of the amazing work that we have been doing over the past year.
- What are you proud of?
- What are you working on that’s interesting?
- What’s new that you’ve tried that you could reflect on?
Who can submit a proposal?
Proposals can be made by individuals, small groups or teams.
We want to hear from all areas of our Library community. Mentor support can be provided.
What are the opportunities to get involved?
You can choose from a variety of formats outlined below:
Focus on… presentations
An opportunity to spotlight a project you have completed or are working on. These presentations are limited to 10 minutes.
Breakout sessions
60-minute sessions for you to present, discuss, workshop, create, chat or build with a group of your Library colleagues.
Digital content
You're welcome to submit any type of digital content for Together26 including videos, podcasts, narrated presentations, blogs, apps, games or interactive content. As well as displaying submissions on screens at the event, we'll share your contributions online with colleagues in the weeks leading up to the conference so that everyone can explore them at their own pace on their own devices.
Posters
Share your work in a creative way using images and words. What have you done that would be well presented visually? Your poster will be displayed for colleagues to view during registration and refreshment breaks.
Mentor support
If you have experience in creating and presenting conference content, you can volunteer to offer mentor support to colleagues. Please reach out to Hannah Goodwin directly if you’d like to be a mentor.
How do I make a proposal?
Proposals can be submitted from Thursday, 19 March 2026 until 5pm on Friday, 17 April 2026.
The conference planning team will be in touch by the end of April to confirm how your proposal will feature in the conference.
If you have any questions, want to talk through your proposal or can offer your support as a mentor, please get in touch with either Hannah Goodwin or Michelle Sharples.
