This is the fourth 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!
Denver First
Speakers at Leadership Breakfast and Membership meeting:
Stimulated by the anticipated evolution of the structure of ARLIS/NA, the Leadership Breakfast and the Membership Meeting will both feature organizational speakers in a Denver First. Check the program for speaker details.
*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:
1. 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!
2. 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.
3. 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."
Caveat: we have not done historical research in the archives, so this represents our collective memory only!
