About the Conference AMICALs annual conference is the one opportunity each year for AMICAL members to meet face to face with colleagues from the other ×American international universities in AMICAL, to discuss shared problems and solutions, and to hear from exceptional thinkers and practitioners whose work is influencing library and information services in higher education. The AMICAL Conference is a small, intimate event that typically has just over 100 attendees, mainly from member institutions: librarians, IT directors, instructional technologists, faculty, but also deans and other administrators. This smallness and focus is one of its strengths, enabling a real sense of community thats ready to engage with each other and embark on collaborative projects in spite of the geographic and cultural distances.
