    The 2023 ALA Conference will return to our nation's capital from November 1st to 3rd.  The conference will take place at the Hilton Washington DC National Mall, The Wharf, conveniently located in L'Enfant Plaza, near the National Mall, the Smithsonian Museums, the U.S. Capitol and the White House.  Reserving your room at the Hilton now will not only ensure that you are situated at the conference venue, but also that can conveniently explore these sights.
