2026 Library Publishing Forum
The Library Publishing Forum is an annual conference bringing together representatives from libraries engaged in (or considering) publishing initiatives to define and address major questions and challenges; to identify and document collaborative opportunities; and to strengthen and promote this community of practice. The Forum includes representatives from a broad, international spectrum of academic library backgrounds, as well as groups that collaborate with libraries to publish scholarly works, including publishing vendors, university presses, and scholars. The Forum is sponsored by the Library Publishing Coalition, but you do not need to be a member of the LPC to attend.
The 2026 Library Publishing Forum will be an in-person event, scheduled to take place June 17-18, 2026, at the University of Washington in Seattle. This year we are co-locating the Forum with the Association of University Presses’ Annual Meeting (June 13-15) and our two communities will collaborate on a day of shared programming on Tuesday, June 16.
