Although libraries are currently facing a climate of political and financial upheaval, that didn't t stop information professionals from showing up in force to the American Library Association's (ALA) 2025 Annual Conference and Exhibition (June 26-30). The conference brought 14,292 registrants to Philadelphia, up from last year's attendance of 13,532 in San Diego. With more than 600 vendors and a variety of live stages and pavilions, the Library Marketplace showcased products for libraries facing intense new challenges. Services and solutions that focused on libraries' ongoing needs for efficiency and impact were in high demand.
