PLA Virtual Conference - March 27-28

The Public Library Association will hold its first-ever Virtual Conference March 27-28 during the association's 12th National Conference in Minneapolis. The Virtual Conference will provide public librarians and public library workers who can't make the trip an opportunity to participate in all the excitement surrounding a PLA Conference.The Virtual Conference will include many familiar elements of the live conference, including high-quality educational programming, poster sessions and networking opportunities with colleagues. Each day will feature five live programs - the same programs available to in-person conference attendees. In addition, it will feature special events, such as "A Conversation with Nancy Pearl," an interactive question-and-answer session with the living model for the librarian action figure, and "Inside the Author's Studio," a daily chat with well-known authors.Registration for the Virtual Conference is now open. Individuals who register to attend PLA 2008 in Minneapolis will automatically receive access to the Virtual Conference as part of their registration.
