Event Overview:
2017 Theme: What’s Past is Prologue
Preconferences/Seminars: Monday, November 6 – Tuesday, November 7
Charleston Vendor Showcase: Tuesday, November 7
Main Conference: Wednesday, November 8 – Friday, November 10
The Charleston Conference is an informal annual gathering of librarians, publishers, electronic resource managers, consultants, and vendors of library materials in Charleston, SC, in November, to discuss issues of importance to them all. It is designed to be a collegial gathering of individuals from different areas who discuss the same issues in a non-threatening, friendly, and highly informal environment. Presidents of companies discuss and debate with library directors, acquisitions librarians, reference librarians, serials librarians, collection development librarians, and many, many others. Begun in 1980, the Charleston Conference has grown from 20 participants in 1980 to almost 2,000 in 2016.
Due to the amount of growth we have experienced, the Conference was held in two hotels for the first time in 2005: the Francis Marion and the Embassy Suites, both in downtown Charleston. We are now in three hotels (the Francis Marion, the Embassy Suites Historic, and the Courtyard Marriott Historic) plus the brand new Gaillard Center Charleston!
The Conference does not have exhibits and is not attached to any professional organization, although a separately managed Vendor Showcase and Juried Product Development Forums take place at the Conference.
Can librarians and vendors create a mutually satisfying environment where libraries can afford to buy the materials they need and vendors can still maintain a healthy profit? Can publishers keep prices down while costs escalate? How is the market being impacted by the Internet and electronic publishing? What are the rights and responsibilities of each of the parties involved? Who is maintaining the electronic archive?
From the librarian of a small library to the CEO of a major corporation, they all stand and make their voices heard. The tone is casual, the talk irreverent, and the answers are far from simple. But together, we can find solutions.
Exhibitor Information:
BIG NEWS! The Charleston Vendor Showcase is moving to the Gaillard Center Grand Ballroom (95 Calhoun Street) this year! This will allow all of our vendors to be on the same floor and in the same location, and will allow more vendors to participate. (Area map and Floor Plan)
Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with almost 2,000 collection development, acquisitions, and electronic resources professionals from around the country and internationally. This year’s 37th Annual Charleston Conference features an exciting list of speakers and, for the 18th year, back by popular demand, the Charleston Vendor Showcase — your chance to show your latest electronic products and services to a target audience of library buyers.
