The Collective 2025 Theme, Doowutchyalike, invites you to break free from traditional library conference constraints. Inspired by Digital Underground’s iconic rap song, this year, we’re rejecting norms and clichés to create an inclusive space for all ideas, whether outlandish or routine. We believe innovation thrives in creativity, so if your proposal encourages interactivity—whatever that means to you—we want to hear it! Whether a thought-provoking workshop or a playful activity, let your vision shine. Join us to challenge the status quo, foster meaningful connections, and, most importantly, doowutchyalike as we redefine learning and sharing in the library community.

Choose only the most accurate/relevant options.

We outfit each presentation room with a laptop, projector and screen, handheld mic, and multiple Post-It easel pads. If you anticipate your session will require anything else beyond these basics (e.g. laptop computer lab, DVD player, etc.) that you won't provide yourself, let us know here!

* Would you like help in inviting collaborators/co-presenters/participants for your session?
If so, we are happy to help you both with direct suggestions and will post your Call for Participation along with any others on The Collective website!
