Marshall Breeding writes: “ALA’s 2024 Annual Conference and Exhibition brought 13,532 registrants to sunny San Diego for educational programs, featured speakers, business meetings, and celebrations. The conference attracted more than 550 vendors to the Library Marketplace, the largest commercial exhibition aimed at the global library community. Vendors displayed a near-comprehensive range of products and services available to libraries, both physical and digital. Representatives were on hand to demonstrate solutions for use in the library, as well as services that can be offered virtually to patrons or deployed beyond building walls.”
