Join us for the 2026 Georgia Libraries Conference
Be a Part of the 2026 Georgia Libraries Conference as a Vendor or Sponsor
The Georgia Library Association will be hosting the Georgia Libraries Conference (GLC) in-person on October 7 - 9, 2026, in Columbus, GA at the Columbus GA Convention & Trade Center.
This annual conference brings together library professionals from across the state and beyond to share ideas, explore innovations, and celebrate accomplishments. As a vendor or sponsor, your participation is a valued part of the experience—providing you the opportunity to connect directly with library decision-makers, showcase your products or services, and demonstrate your commitment to supporting the library community.
Our theme this year is "All are Welcome Here: Imagine, Create, Elevate."
This year the conference will be held in person. There will not be a virtual session. We are looking forward to valuable sessions across topics relevant for our entire membership.
Hotels
The conference hotels are the Columbus Marriott and Hampton Inn Columbus Downtown. See GLC Lodging Information for rates and booking links.
