Call for koha-US 2026 Annual Conference presentation proposals

Join fellow Koha users at the 2026 koha-US Annual Conference.

This year, the conference will be held from August 18-20th at the Fayetteville Public Library in downtown Fayetteville, Arkansas.

Submit a proposal.

The conference will also be streamed virtually for those who cannot attend in person.

Our theme for the 2026 conference is: "Gems of Knowledge"

We will gather in Arkansas, sometimes called the Diamond State, to share the many facets of Koha. What gems of knowledge can you share? How has Koha enabled you and your library to meet and exceed the needs of your patrons and community?

Here are some suggestions for meaningful presentation topics:

  • Koha in the library: best practices, tips, hacks, grievances, etc.
  • Issues with materials vendors and acquisitions, post Baker & Taylor.
  • Implementing a "new to you" feature: Rolling out a Koha feature that already existed.
  • Notice delivery: Implementing SMS on a budget.
  • Notice delivery: Improving notices with html and template toolkit.
  • The development process: How it works, how to partner with other libraries for results.
  • The importance of conversation: How we find middle ground when developers and users' opinions differ.
  • Improving user experience or accessibility.
  • Consortia tips & tricks: problem solving on a large scale.
  • Fostering innovation, inclusion, and collaboration in the community.

These are only suggestions to inspire your ideas. What do you think your Koha colleagues would like to learn?

Proposals are due by April 24, 2026. You will be notified whether your proposal has been accepted no later than May 15, 2026.
