I fly out of Maine early Friday morning for my first ALA Annual Conference. This year the conference is being held in DC. I'm using my last few days to read advice from the pros. Stephen Abram had an extensive article full of conference advice. http://stephenslighthouse.com/2006/05/30/conference-tips/ I learned a lot from Free Range Librarian's blog as well. http://freerangelibrarian.com/2010/06/19/ala-conference-survival-tips-35-conferences-later/
At this point I have a box of business cards, a couple of sheets of mailing labels, and I've started to pack. I'm nervous about my choice of shoes. Everyone says to go for comfort, but I like to look good too. I've typed out a rough itinerary to keep me on track, and I'm trying to make time for sightseeing and some down time.
It's perfect that the new season of Top Chef is set in DC. What better way to prepare than to watch Top Chef and dream about the amazing restaurants? Of course, most of my meals will probably consist of snack food and pre-made sandwiches.
