What are you doing to encourage others from your chapter to attend SLA 2011? Let's see your comments below.
The Central Ohio Chapter is organizing a rented van or "other people mover type of vehicle" to assist members in getting to Philadelphia for annual conference. Their president and vice president are planning the eight-hour drive and inviting their colleagues to come along in an effort to increase the number of members from their chapter attending conference this year. I can see their networking and learning will begin when they pull out of the driveway/parking lot in Columbus.
Concerned with gas prices? Check out this article on e-How: How to Find a Cheap Bus Fare on the East Coast. Boltbus and Megabus both have free wi-fi and Boltbus even has outlets. Can the fare really be $1? One of my staff colleagues goes from Baltimore to Philly for $5.
Bottom line...the early-bird registration deadline is fast approaching. This is the time to get the word out and make your plans so you have more money to spend for those extra ticketed events, sightseeing, dining or other socializing options.
