Amigos is currently accepting proposals for the future-themed Amigos Member Conference, online on May 9-10, 2012.

Insight and vision are key skills needed to take libraries into a future that librarians influence and create for their campuses and communities. Creating the future recognizes technological, political, economic, and societal influences. It requires planning skills that acknowledge uncertainty and possibilities at that same time. We are looking for libraries who have implemented future focused services and strategies; tell your story at the Amigos Member conference.
