Good question, The Collective is open to everyone but most attendees are US based. At the most recent Collective there were attendees from Canada and the UK and the year before Nigeria and Australia were also represented.



You can take a look at the uncensored event reports and participant surveys<https://www.thelibrarycollective.org/reports> (https://www.thelibrarycollective.org/reports) to see where participants came from, what they do, what they said about The Collective, and more.

Out of pure curiosity, do you get many international guests or is it aimed more at US-based folk?

Hey Code4Lib people,



The Collective is a super awesome conference in Knoxville, TN that I've been to 3 times now and it gets better each year. Hope to see some of y’all there!

The Library Collective is back with a 2020 theme so awesomely nerdy, you won’t want to miss it.





For The Collective 2020 gathering, we’re challenging librarians to “Roll for Initiative<http://www.thelibrarycollective.org/program<http://www.thelibrarycollective.org/program<http://www.thelibrarycollective.org/program%3chttp:/www.thelibrarycollective.org/program>>>” (that’s right, D&D nerds!). While proposals need not make reference to Dungeons & Dragons or gaming, we hope this year’s session ideas will connect with the broader themes evoked by the title, including but not limited to storytelling, improvisation, role-playing, innovation, creativity, empathy-building, and the many other ways librarians are taking initiative in their libraries.





Our unique proposal and review process includes a public ideation and commenting phase followed by a blind peer review. <https://www.thelibrarycollective.org/review-process<https://www.thelibrarycollective.org/review-process<https://www.thelibrarycollective.org/review-process%3chttps:/www.thelibrarycollective.org/review-process>>> Read more<http://www.thelibrarycollective.org/program/<http://www.thelibrarycollective.org/program/<http://www.thelibrarycollective.org/program/%3chttp:/www.thelibrarycollective.org/program/>>> and submit your ideas, vote, or comment now until August 2!



P.S. Unlike your usual library conference suspects, our events are radically fun, interactive, inclusive, and affordable. Don’t believe us? Check out five years of data<http://www.thelibrarycollective.org/reports<http://www.thelibrarycollective.org/reports<http://www.thelibrarycollective.org/reports%3chttp:/www.thelibrarycollective.org/reports>>> to back up our claim!
