Library Journal invites director-level leaders at public libraries to join us for our 2026 Directors’ Summit Oct. 22 & 23 at Winter Park Library in Winter Park, FL.   
This annual day and a half of interactive thought leadership, learning, and networking will spotlight ways that library leaders—often isolated in their work—are effectively tackling the many complex and difficult challenges of library management. The summit also provides ample opportunity to collaborate on ideas that will advance the profession.      

Topics for the event’s sessions and breakouts are curated by LJ’s editorial team based on a survey of event registrants, as well as input from the Directors’ Summit's advisory board of library directors.  The agenda is currently under development, so stay tuned! Click here to see last year’s program.
