The Innovative Users Group (IUG) has officially opened registration for its 2026 Annual User Group Conference, set to take place in Chicago this spring. The event offers library professionals a unique opportunity to connect with Innovative experts, exchange ideas with peers from around the world, and explore emerging trends shaping the future of library technology.

The three-day conference—preceded by a one-day Pre-Conference—features hands-on sessions, user-led presentations, networking events, and in-depth discussions tailored to both general and specialized interests. Attendees will gain practical strategies and insights designed to support their libraries' evolving needs.

Highlights include direct access to Innovative's product experts and leadership, dozens of user-designed sessions, global networking opportunities, and a vendor hall showcasing complementary tools and technologies.
