ELAG is Europe’s premier conference on the application of information
technology in libraries and documentation centers. For over forty years,
the ELAG (European Library Automation Group) Conference has provided
library and IT professionals with the opportunity to discuss new
technologies, to review on-going developments, and to exchange best
practices.

How can you contribute to ELAG!

The next ELAG conference will take place in Riga, Latvia from 09 to 12
June 2020.

You can contribute to the ELAG conference in several ways by submitting:

    A presentation proposal:  They are the core of the ELAG programme.
Presentations allow you to present your work in 25 minutes in a plenary
session. After which there are 5 minutes for questions.

    A workshop proposal: Workshops are run throughout the main ELAG
programme and are used for group discussions on a selected topic. The
workshop leader acts as the moderator of these discussions. Workshops
are split into 2 sessions on 2 days of 1.5 hours each. On the last day
the participants of the workshop need to present a short 10-15 minute
summary about the results of the workshop during the plenary session.

    A bootcamp proposal: Bootcamp start on the day before the
conference. They typically provide hands-on training on software, tools
