There is still space available to attend the preconference, “Who Do I Trust to Protect My Privacy? Privacy Conversation Deliberative Forum and Moderator Training.” It will be held on Thursday, June 24, 1:30 — 5:30, at the ALA Washington Office, 1615 New Hampshire Avenue, NW. Tickets are $25.00, which includes lunch, refreshments, and course materials.  To register for the preconference, please visit www.ala.org/annual.  Advanced registration is encouraged, but walk-in registration and attendance is welcome.

This event, which is sponsored by IFRT, the ALA Center for Public Life/Libraries Fostering Civic Engagement MIG, and the ALA Washington Office, will focus on privacy and the conversation will be structured with an issue map. Following the dialogue, participants will learn how to convene and moderate a deliberative dialogue so they can host their own local forums that explore privacy values and concerns.
