CYALL serves as a forum to discuss, demonstrate, and champion learning strategies in teaching young adult literature and discuss trends currently in the format. The conference is also a venue for discussing how advocates can best serve teens in helping them overcome adversity in their lives and creating programming and spaces that allow young adults to learn and grow. The 2023 Conference is in full swing. We are happy to announce Randy Ribay as our 2023 Keynote Speaker. Ribay is the author of the award winning novel, Patron Saints of Nothing. This year's slate of sessions is available from the conference website.
