 Making your case to attend
Let your institution know that attending a resource sharing conference is an investment in their future and that you will share the knowledge and skills that you learn with your colleagues. Programs and recorded presentations from our past conferences are available on our website.  

The NWILL Conference was held virtually for three years and hybrid in 2024. We have seen significant growth in the number of attendees. For the last three years that the conference was held in person, we averaged about 150 attendees each year.  We’ve grown to more than 600 attendees from at least 45 states, two Tribal Nations and five countries. We hope that our hybrid format will allow for in-person interaction with more than 100 attendees, plus virtual interaction with 300 to 500 attendees.

These comments from previous attendees may help in making your case to attend the 2025 NWILL conference:

"This is a great conference to get new ideas and meet some pretty wonderful people who are as passionate about Resource Sharing as you are. I look forward to coming every year."

"It's very useful, and I'd highly recommend attending. I've been going since my first year working in ILL, and I get many useful ideas every time I go. NWILL keeps innovating and I look forward to it each year."

“Great work. I appreciated the wide range of topics and found many of them very timely. I particularly appreciate panelists who talk about specific solutions or actions they've taken in response to a problem.”
