If you’re like me, you’re gearing up to head to Chicago next week for SLA’s Annual Conference and INFO-EXPO. I’m excited – I’ve never been outside the airports in Chicago before! To make things even more exciting, next weekend is also the Taste of Chicago event, a food festival that draws millions of people. It’ll certainly be a new experience!

Here are a few other things I’m looking forward to in Chicago:

• Hearing Guy Kawasaki’s keynote presentation
• Attending the American West Chapters’ Reception
• Checking out the spotlight sessions, especially the one on Wikileaks
• Eating lots and lots of tasty Chicago food!

Are you going? What are you looking forward to?

On behalf of the SLA Arizona Chapter, I would like to extend our sincerest condolences to our friends in Colorado.  May time heal such a horrific event.

Going to SLA? Be sure to mark your calendar!
