Conference 101
I got to this program 10 minutes before it was scheduled to start and there wasn't a free seat available. The room was set up with 15 tables, 10 chairs at a table. At least 50 more people eventually were seated around the room. Some dragged in chairs from another room. The President of the New Members Roundtable gave a little commercial about joining the Roundtable. Then a guy named Michael (I didn't quite catch his last name) went through the program book telling us page numbers for all of the important things that we should know about--maps, schedules, freebies. He said that, being the librarian that he is, he organized all of the cards that he got in the mail from exhibitors by booth number. Silly me, I wasn't even going to bring mine! Diner was great. We ate at a tapas restaurant. It's a good thing that we had reservations because it was very crowded.
