Conference and Meeting opportunities from LITA, edUi, and ALCTS
Plan now to join us in Columbus, OH at the Hyatt Regency Downtown for the National Forum, a three-day educational event that includes preconferences, general sessions, and more than 30 concurrent sessions.
Now in its 15th year, the LITA National Forum has become a highly regarded annual event for those involved in new and leading edge technologies in the library and information technology field.
Registration is limited in order to preserve the advantages of a small conference. Networking opportunities, one of the small conference advantages, are an important part of the Forum. Take advantage of the informal Friday evening reception and Saturday evening networking dinners to get to know LITA leaders, Forum speakers, and peers.
