If you’re like me, you are already searching for professional development events in 2025. With so many options – conferences, workshops and online courses – it’s hard to narrow down which ones are the right ones for you and your goals. And even if you do find some sessions you want to attend, professional development dollars are finite and sometimes hard choices need to be made. 

What if I told you there was one conference available that combines skill-building, professional growth, networking events, valuable insights, success stories from peers, best practices to take back to your library, and a really cool party at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame? 

Digipalooza ‘25 is your go-to digital library conference focused on Innovation, Inspiration, and Collaboration. Designed to help our library partners better serve their communities, expect dynamic educational programming, inspirational librarian panels, and hearing from industry experts, authors, and the OverDrive team.
