The Top Ten Reasons YOU Can't Miss SLA 2009
10. Learning, learning, and more learning. You will receive 3 days of education (more if you attend pre-conference Continuing Education) and vendor interactions that will help you build skills and a network that you can bring back to the office and share.
9. You can hold a mini-conference when you return. Bring back concrete examples and hands-on technologies that you can show your colleagues.
8. Washington, D.C. Even if you've been to Washington many times, this is proving to be an exciting year in the Nation's Capital.
7. Networking opportunities abound! Sometimes the most valuable things you'll learn will happen through talking with other information professionals.
6. Case studies and real life examples. Many of the sessions feature real life examples that you can learn from immediately.
5. Top-notch exhibit hall. Looking for new vendors or new products? Get invaluable time to talk one-on-one with the leading companies in the industry at the SLA INFO-EXPO.
4. Keynote presentation and panel of industry luminaries: Featuring Colin Powell and a panel moderated by Judy Woodruff discussing the current state and future of the information profession with Robyn Meredith, Neil deGrasse Tyson and John R. Patrick
3. Time and money. If you learn one thing, it could save you lots of money and time down the road. A small investment now will have big pay-off later.
2. Easy Access. Washington, D.C. is easily accessible from almost everywhere with three international airports, Amtrak, and Interstate 95.
And, the Number ONE Reason to Attend SLA 2009...
1. You can't afford NOT to!
