Norwood Conference Center & Four Points by Sheraton Hotel  |  1125 Boston-Providence Turnpike, Norwood, MA 02062


We are thrilled to return to the Norwood Conference Center for our 2026 Conference!

Your feedback from 2025 was overwhelmingly positive—you asked us to return, and it's happening! Remember the all-day food buffets, working lounges for downtime, pool and hot tub, and state-of-the-art classrooms? This year we're adding additional professional development opportunities, more opportunities for networking and comparing notes, and more time for socializing with your colleagues from across Massachusetts.

Your ticket now covers BOTH Sunday and Monday, and we hope you will join for both. (No single day tickets available)

Some highlights:

Sunday morning we'll host hands-on sessions, featuring Demco's Book Doctor and other crafting activities. we'll host an Author Panel, an MSLA Board meeting (looking for new members!), and a fun app + drink event with vendors, and AASL President Amanda Kordeliski will deliver the keynote. You'll have opportunities to connect with colleagues over region, special interest, or school type. 

We encourage you purchase a registration with the dinner option. Significantly subsidized, we're offering dinner as a $30 add-on to any registration. It will be delicious, just like last year, and offer trivia time!

Monday is the day when all concurrent sessions run. In the morning you'll hear speakers from MSLA and AASL, and celebrate award winners over lunch.

Cancellation Policy

Cancellations are granted occasionally, and requests are considered individually. Any request for a refund will be at the discretion of the MSLA President. If approved, cancellations and refunds requested before 14 days of the event's start date will receive 90% of the registration ticket value refunded. Any requests within 14 days of the event's start date will receive 50% of the registration ticket value refunded. Email the MSLA Office with any questions or cancellation requests.

Payment Types We Accept

MSLA will accept purchase orders, personal checks, and credit cards for conference registrations.

All payments by purchase orders must be received by April 3, 2026, BEFORE the conference begins.

To generate an invoice for a purchase order or a personal check, complete your event registration, and at the end of registration, click "Invoice Me." This generates an invoice which you forward to your school's business office, who will then send a check to the MSLA office (PO Box 336, Wayland, MA 01778).

Anyone with an unpaid invoice will not be permitted to attend the conference until the balance is paid.
