What makes ALA’s 2016 Annual Conference & Expo the must-attend event of the year? It’s the education, networking, solutions and resources from more than 200 business partners in the Exhibit Hall, the ability to connect with speakers after their sessions, and more. Visit the ALA website for more information on the conference - http://ac2016.alanet.org.

The ALA Conference for 2016 is scheduled for May 22-25th in Los Angeles. Our very own Laura Broomell will be taking over as the President of ALA at the LA Conference.  Every year the Minnesota Chapter has a reception at the beginning of the conference in order to bring all of the Minnesota attendees together. This year the event will take place on Sunday, May 22nd from 8pm-10pm at the Perch. Typically, our reception takes place on the Saturday night before the conference, but because of the higher price for the hotels this year we made the decision to move the event to Sunday night.

We encourage you to book your hotel early. The host hotel is usually the best option, but there are three additional hotels that ALA has made available that are the same distance from the convention center as the host hotel. If you have any questions about the conference, want to know when others are booking flights, or would be interested in rooming with another member please contact Sarah Didrikson at [email protected].
