We’ve just attended our first conference of the year — the Ontario Library Association Super Conference at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Met lots of friends, colleagues and clients — Clifford Lynch, Jenny Levine, Gary Price, Darlene Fichter, Stephen Abram, and lots of others!
Coming up soon is Information Today’s Computers in Libraries 2005 in Washington DC, March 16-18 We hope to see you there where you’ll hear Clifford Lynch, Bruce James, Mary Lee Kennedy, and Stephen Abram will be head lining the conference. But there are hundreds of other great speakers there as well — Greg Notess, Roy Tennant, Darlene Fichter, Chris Sherman, Genie Tyburski, Gary Price, Megan Fox, Steven Cohen, Tara Calishain, Michael Stephens, Mary Ellen Bates, Aaron Schmidt, Blake Carver, Ran Hock, and many, many more.
I’m also going to check out Sirsi’s SuperConference this year at the Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Feb 27 - Mar 2 — especially the Executive Track. Keynote speaker and author David Baldacci starts things off, while other speakers include Lee Raine of Pew Internet and American Life Project, Joshua Duhl of IDC, Chris Sherman of Search Engine Watch, Rich Wiggins of MSU and more!
And then there’s the Special Libraries Association conference in Toronto this year , June 4-8, for the first time since 1974! The Toronto Chapter has a great information site too! Check out the Dysart & Jones interactive learning forum — Driving Performance on Saturday June 4th. Plan to join us!
And the Canadian Library Association conference with President Stpehen Abram is in Calgary this year, June 15-18. Our friend and colleague Dave Snowden is headlining. Join us there for another exciting Dysart & Jones interactive learning forum — it features Dave Snowden too — New Strategies for Solving Problems.
Of course, then there are the fall events which I’m now starting with my colleagues to plan –
Internet Librarian 2005, Monterey CA, Oct 24-6 **Note the new dates, it’s earlier!
KMWorld & Intranets, San Jose CA, Nov 15-17 ** Note new dates & new venue!
If you are interested in speaking at either of these events, go to the web site, and send in a proposal. We’d love to see you at these events.
