It’s here! Registration for ThriveLib 2026 is officially open, and we’re so excited to see you there. This year’s conference runs August 11-13, and the theme, Reimagining Library Culture Together, shaped everything about how we built the program. Fifteen sessions, 28 speakers, three days of honest conversation about what library work looks like when the people doing it are genuinely cared for. Replays are planned for every session, so you can join live or catch up on your own time. Tickets We want as many library workers in the room as possible, and this year we were able to lower our subsidized rate. Tickets are available at three price points: * $50 subsidized rate is available for library and information science students and for library workers who are unemployed or underemployed. * $100 standard rate is the regular price for most attendees and helps us cover the cost of the event and pay our speakers and organizers fairly. * $125 Pay It Forward rate is for those who are able to give a little more. Every pay it forward ticket helps fund a subsidized ticket for someone else. If that’s you, thank you. Last year’s subsidized rate was $75. Bringing it down to $50 this year felt important. We don’t want cost to be what keeps someone away. One thing to know: due to our current Zoom license, registration is capped at 450 tickets. Early bird discount Register by June 30 and save 10% on standard tickets with the code EARLYBIRD at checkout. Ready to join us? Head to the HeySummit<https://thrivelib-2026.heysummit.com/> platform to register. And if you know someone who needs this, please pass it along. Feel free to reach out if you have questions. We’ll see you in August! Todd M.
