The inaugural event, held on October 21-22, 2014, drew nearly 200 thought leaders in special collections and archives from across the country and Canada to Cleveland to explore the future of the field. Presented in collaboration with River Campus Libraries at University of Rochester, Vanderbilt University Libraries and Washington University in St. Louis, the two-day event provided a forum for library administrators, special collections librarians, rare book and manuscript booksellers and auctioneers, scholars and serious book collectors to examine practices of the past and discuss how to build a secure and accessible tomorrow. Featured keynote speakers were some of the most distinguished voices in the field, including opening keynote speaker, Sarah Thomas (Harvard) and closing keynote speaker, Mark Dimunation (Library of Congress), as well as plenary keynote speakers Stephen Enniss (University of Texas at Austin), Alice Schreyer (University of Chicago) and Jay Satterfield (Dartmouth).
