Spotlight on Our Vendors For an enjoyable and productive experience at the ARLIS/NA conference, schedule some time to wander through the vendor's exhibit tables - take in the colorful new publications, thrill at the inventive artists' books, and experiment with the latest software. Here I have listed my top ten reasons to visit our vendors. I'm sure I've missed some, so please add your own reasons by commenting on the conference blog (http://artlisnaindy.wordpress.com). If you are an ARLIS/NA conference newby - don't despair! Whether you are new to ARLIS/NA or if you have not had a chance in the past to meet our vendors, you can sign up to be matched with a member who will tour the Exhibitor's Hall with you, and personally introduce you to our exhibitors. We are also looking for experienced members that know and interact with our vendors regularly, who wish to be guides to the Exhibitors Hall.
