Thank you for volunteering to speak at ELUNA 2020 in Los Angeles, California! The conference is a success because people like you are willing to share your expertise with your colleagues.

Novel Coronavirus Update 4/1/2020

The ELUNA Steering Committee, Ex Libris, and the volunteer planning committee have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Ex Libris Knowledge Days, ELUNA Developers Day+, and ELUNA Annual Meeting due to COVID-19 

  • We will cancel all event registrations centrally.  Payment will be refunded fully in the manner it was made, either to a credit card on file, with an ELUNA check if check was deposited, or a returned voided check.  
  • Attendees should cancel their hotel reservations directly with the Westin.  

The ELUNA Steering Committee will not virtualize the full Developers Day+ and Annual Meeting events. We will offer a no fee online event with updates from the ELUNA Steering Committee and Ex Libris Management; this session will also include our keynote speaker, Betsy Friesen, University of Minnesota. Registration information for this virtual event will be available mid-April.  

The ELUNA Steering Committee and Planning Committee are exploring options for offering a new series of virtual educational events. Keep your eye out for more information about virtual events about this on eluna-announce. 

For more information about the Ex Libris Knowledge Days event cancellation, see the Knowledge Days website. 

We appreciate your patience as we worked through various scenarios with hotel and service vendors related to our decision to cancel an event of this size.  

Many thanks to the conference Planning Committee, Program Committee, and speakers for their amazing work to plan the 2020 events.   Please send questions to [email protected].
