From 1-2 pm, there will be the CALA President's Program 2024: "A Panel Discussion on Artificial Intelligence (AI)’s Impact on Library Development, Operations, and Services." Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a rapidly growing area that has attracted massive interest in the library profession since the initial release of ChatGPT in November 2022. It is crucial for libraries and librarians to gain a deeper understanding of the impacts and implications of AI on library development, operations, and services. This panel discussion will bring together international experts from the US, Canada, and China to showcase their AI-related projects, services, or research. They will provide insights on the opportunities, considerations, challenges, and advice on this important topic.

From 2-3:30 pm, it will be the CALA Membership/Poster Session where CALA members will showcase their projects in poster formats. For a list of posters see here[insert URL from CALA website]. All are welcome to attend.
