Government Information Day 2026 In-Person
Government Information Day 2026 is a free one-day conference that promotes federal, state, and local government information and resources. Indiana public librarians can also earn LEUs at the event. The event is free to attend, and offers a great learning opportunity for librarians, library staff, information professionals, and members of the public. Registration for in-person attendance is free and required.
The Indiana State Library is proud to announce Director Hugh Halpern, U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO), as the Government Information Day 2026 keynote speaker. As the Agency’s chief executive officer, Director Halpern is responsible for overseeing the publishing and printing information for the three branches of the Federal Government. He is the 28th person to lead GPO since the agency was created by Congress on March 4, 1861, the same day Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated as the 16th President of the United States. President Donald Trump nominated Mr. Halpern to be GPO Director on October 17, 2019, and the U.S. Senate confirmed him on December 4, 2019.
