Plenary sessions will feature Atlanta-based civic, social, and education innovators. The Center received over 50 proposals for concurrent sessions and a schedule of selected sessions is now available. The Symposium on the Future of Libraries is included with 2017 ALA Midwinter Meeting and Exhibits full registration. Library Boot Camp Advocacy Training The Office for Library Advocacy and the Office for Intellectual Freedom have launched Advocacy Bootcamp, a new advocacy training geared for state chapter conferences, focused on mentorship of new advocates, building an advocacy plan for individual libraries and creating consistent messaging for all types of libraries. Two Boot Camps have taken place so far: at the Minnesota Library Association and Virginia Library Association Conferences. As a result of these (with a combined attendance of about 55), 22 participants said they would adopt the Libraries Transform campaign; 20 said they wanted to get involved in their respective Chapter advocacy work; 18 said they wanted to be involved in mentorship; four said they would join ALA and 10 said they wanted to become active in reporting intellectual freedom and advocacy challenges.
