Our keynote speakers will be Ivan Oransky of Retraction Watch and Safiya Noble, author of Algorithms of Oppression – How Search Engines Reinforce Racism. There will also be papers, posters, exhibitors and networking opportunities. Check out our the MAC 2020 Meeting website for more information.

The conference will be closed captioned and accessible materials will be available on the conference platform in advance.

If you have not logged in previously, you will need to reset your password. Those who are not MAC members DO NOT have to login to register.
How much does it cost?
The Annual Meeting Planning Committee has worked hard to ensure that MAC members and students may attend the virtual conference at no cost, thanks to the generosity of the Network of the National Library of Medicine MAR and SEA regions, the MAC Diversity and Inclusion Committee, and our exhibitors and sponsors. Note that registration is required for access to the conference platform. Non-MAC members may attend the meeting for $25 or opt to join MAC for the same fee, receive free registration and reap MAC membership benefits for the year!There will also be optional CE opportunities taking place October 12-14 for $20 per CE for any attendees. CE spots are limited.

What happens if I cancel?
You may “cancel” your registration at any time before you “confirm” it. If you don’t complete the process, you will get a pop up message that your registration is pending.
