Our annual FAME Conference attracts over 600 school librarians, technology specialists, and administrators, who come to FAME to discover new ways to reinvent their libraries, classrooms, and schools. Librarians are especially looking to make their libraries accessible, enjoyable and relevant for all kids and adults.
The 53rd Annual FAME Conference will be held at the Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista on October 28 - 30, 2026.
Registration will open in July 2026!
