No matter what your job title, this conference is for you. Digipalooza blends education, networking and fun for a professional-development opportunity that you won’t forget. The focus is 100% on digital media in libraries and schools and offers attendees a first look at new features, industry trends and real-world resources and solutions that can be applied after the conference.

All U.S. and Canadian public library and school partners are eligible to win (subject to the official rules). One entry per person, please.
If you are selected as a winner and have already registered for Digipalooza, the scholarship will be applied and your registration money will be returned to you. Register today and hold your place, as spaces are quickly filling up!
Scholarship winners will be recognized at Digipalooza and will be invited to an exclusive cocktail event during the conference with the sponsor, Penguin Random House. Good luck and we hope to see you this August at Digipalooza ‘15!

I work at Iredell County Public Library in Statesville NC. I work in the circulation department , I also teach our e-book classes and am currently training for the job of ordering fiction in books and ebooks.The year before last we were runner ups in the Digipalooza contest on how our library is reaching out to the public about our ebooks. We were very proud of this being that it was only our reference librarian Mardi Durham and I working on this with no budget at all. We are a large busy library in a small town working on a very small library budget. For the last couple of years Mardi and I have longed to go to Digipalooza but it is not something our library can cover. We would absolutely love the chance to come and I know we could benefit our patrons with what we learn and bring back from the experience. Thank you so much for at least providing a chance for this dream to possibly come true, Michele M. Coleman
