This is the third message in a series of "Denver Firsts" messages, wherein
we highlight the many elements of the ARLIS/NA Annual Conference in Denver
May 1-5 that we believe to be innovations in the ARLIS conference
experience!
Caveat: we have not done historical research in the archives, so this
represents our collective memory only!
Denver First
Virtual posters:
ARLIS/NA is borrowing an idea from our ALA Art Section and Instruction
Section colleagues -- the virtual poster session. Three session moderators
have agreed to complement their physical session with online posters,
allowing wider participation and contribution of topics in this "Denver
First."
*This posting on behalf of the Denver co-chairs (Peggy Keeran and Tom
Riedel for Local Arrangements and Jeanne Brown and Mary Graham for Program)
and the entire Conference Planning Advisory Committee whose brainstorms
resulted in many of the approaches we are calling Denver Firsts!
Previously entries in the Denver First Series:
Complimentary breakfast at the membership meeting:
With signing up for lunch or dinner no longer an extra step, ARLIS/NA
members can eat and meet at the same time! We hope this Denver First will
result in increased attendance at the Membership Meeting!
Meet the Vendors program:
Some folks, even long-time members, are a bit shy with vendors, or don't
know what to talk about. This Denver First offers the opportunity to visit
exhibitors accompanied by old hands in the exhibits, and be personally
introduced to the exhibitors who contribute their time and support to our
annual conference.
