Registration for WiLSWorld 2016 is now open! Join WiLS and your colleagues at the Pyle Center in Madison on Tuesday, August 2nd for an exciting line-up of speakers and breakout sessions. Wednesday, August 3rd is Workshop Wednesday, where you can grow your skills with targeted, hands-on workshops.
Tuesday, August 2nd
David Bendekovic, founder of The B. A. David Company, an organizational and leadership development company, and an expert at cultivating innovation and leadership throughout organizations even, or perhaps especially, in times of great change and uncertainty, kicks off WiLSWorld with his keynote address.
Breakout sessions this year appeal across the spectrum of librarianship. You can explore instructional librarianship, adventures in library space planning, and sessions ranging from bringing patrons up to basic technological competencies to mobile hotspot lending implementation at your library. New this year, the New Technology Showcase! Half lightning presentations and half demonstrations, you’ll have a chance to learn more about new technologies and tools library staff are using in their work, and then get up close and personal with a demonstration of those that you’re interested in learning more about. All this and a tour of the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery. But wait! There’s more!
Wednesday, August 3rd
Join us for hands-on learning at the Second Annual WiLSWorld Workshop Wednesday! Workshops include: Data 101 (learning more about using data, specifically your data!), creating infographics to tell your library’s story, bringing coding to your library, and help for rocking your LibGuides. Plus, there will be an all day workshop dedicated to Design Thinking, provided by experts Design Concepts, a product design and innovation consulting firm based in Madison. Registration for all workshops is limited, so be sure to register as soon as possible!
