Look Out Washington! SLA 2009 Is Nearly Here.

It looks like the SLA 2009 Annual Conference & INFO-EXPO is going to be a big one, and I cannot wait!  Our registration numbers are already considerably higher than the last few years, and we know that Washington, D.C., conferences generally attract higher-than-average onsite registrations.  Particularly in light of the current economy, the enthusiasm for SLA 2009 is a real testament to the power of networking in the information profession. 

We are providing more ways than ever for SLA members who cannot be with us to be involved.  But we all know that there is no real substitute for the face-to-face networking that takes place at Conference.  Our location in Washington also provides some very special venues. I am particularly looking forward to the “SLA Salutes” Awards and Leadership Reception, which takes place in the Great Hall at the Library of Congress—a rare treat even for those of us who have lived in the Nation’s Capital for many years.
