• ALA Core Forum - https://coreforum.org/,  October 13-15 in Salt Lake City, UT

• Others that may be of interest: https://www.ala.org/conferencesevents/other

These are just some that I am aware of but you can use these funds to attend PD that supports your particular job duties so it may not be a traditional library conference it could be something else that fits your position and responsiblities. 

This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
