This year the Texas-Mexico Chapter and the 2023 Conference Planning Advisory Committee are excited to be combining for a joint meeting in Mexico City, August 8-11, 2022.  

All ARLIS members are welcome to attend! It is a phenomenal way to familiarize yourself with Mexico City in advance of the 2023 Conference by visiting museums and libraries in the city and getting to know the conference space and neighborhood better.  

I am so excited to announce that registration is now open: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/arlisna-texas-mexico-2023-chapter-meeting-mexico-city-tickets-365954007287. 

Registration costs are $70 USD for ARLIS members who reside in the U.S. and $35 USD for Mexico residents, retirees, students, and guests of ARLIS members.
