Presidents' Session: Conference Capstone (Friday, March 11, 5:00pm - 6:30pm, Fifth Avenue Room, The Seattle Westin).
Session description:
ARLIS/NA's and VRA's third joint conference is an occasion to consider our professions, including our commonalities and differences, what lies beyond the horizon, and how we as organizations can most effectively meet the current and future needs of our
members. The digital revolution has brought the work of our members closer than ever, as evidenced by our joint conference content. Join the conversation as we engage our speakers and attendees in discussion about the digital realm, core competencies, opportunities
beyond our organizations, and collaborative possibilities that ARLIS/NA and VRA can explore as we rise to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow.
