Hi! I'm trying to register for this and book hotels, etc. Is there a conference registration page that I can go to? Thanks.

Hi Joy, IMLS has always made all of the travel arrangements. They book the rooms and flights for us. There may be some exceptions to this, but normally they do it all. I'm assuming that none of this will occur until the federal govt opens back up. They normally send us a couple of forms that we need to fill out when they are ready to start.
