Past and Future Meetings and Conferences

MLA members and others with an interest in health sciences librarianship meet each May for five days of professional development, presentations, exhibits, and much more. Registration generally opens in January. Online content for the previous year’s meetings and conferences, which includes access to video and audio of all major sessions, is open year round—see the links below for more information.

Future Annual Conferences

All future conferences are planned to have both an online and an in-person component.

Past Annual Meetings

The MLA annual conference generates a wealth of recorded electronic content, including plenary videos, content for session programs, and posters. These files are available to registrants, including online conference registrants, as soon as the meeting is over. A year after each annual meeting and conference, MLA makes electronic content available to all MLA members. 

The proceedings of the MLA annual meeting are published as a supplement to the January issue of the Journal of the Medical Library Association each year. Questions about the annual meeting proceedings should be directed to the proceedings editors.
