Collaborating to Create a Fashionable Event: A Guide for Creating a Library-Sponsored Conference
Abstract
The Adrian G. Marcuse Library at LIM College in New York City has successfully organized a three-day conference dedicated to the past, present, and future of fashion information since 2011. This chapter serves as a case study on how to successfully organize, collaborate, and promote a library-sponsored conference into a successful and institution-supported event. Incremental growth is crucial to the event's success and the author includes information on how to increase the number and diversity of collaborators each year. The chapter will discuss the opportunities and challenges of organizing similar events with collaborative partners. It will discuss the importance of maintaining the original vision of the conference, while also acknowledging the value of including other participants' new ideas. Recognizing the skills needed for organization of the event and then recruiting professionals with those skills are additional keys to success.
