ALA
American Library Association
There are multiple divisions for specific focus ie: AASL Am Assoc of School Librarians, YALSA, Young Adult Library Services Association, PLA Public Library Assoc, etc….check out each – you must be a member of ALA and then subscribe t one or more specific sub divisions.
ISTE

Best resource for standards, ideas, tech integration – my personal favorite.
Each state has a local State Chapters of Library Associations or Education Media Associations
In Colorado CASL & CAL
Often you can find local Instructional/Educational Technology Associations
In Colorado TIE – Technology in Education offers an annual conference.
Library of Congress TPS in Colorado - offers a Librarian Days Annual Conference full of great information and well worth attending.
