It was a long time in the coming, hard to believe it is over! Thank you to everyone everyone who was there, and even some who did not manage it:
- all the delegates who came and participated. It was our pleasure to put this on for you!
- all the vendors (exhibitors, sponsors and delegates) who supported us in this unique endeavour;
- all the speakers and moderators who provided us with a stellar program;
- the Ontario Legislative Assembly and staff of the Legislative Library of Ontario who gave us a fabulous kick-off in our opening reception;
- all the volunteers who kept things running smoothly on site, hosted our TALL Tower Tours, and helped guide folks in our dutch treat dinners;
- all the conference organizers/committee members who put their blood, sweat and tears into it;
- all our colleagues who kept things running in our offices while we were preoccupied;
- all our families who similarly put up with our stress levels;
- and innumerable others who supported us and made this an amazing event.
This conference took 4 years to organize since first discussed by Steve Weiter and Danielle Brousseau at an AALL conference, and included participation from at least 10 associations/AALL chapters.
It is so hard to believe it is over…..
Cheers,
Connie

What a program! It’s hard to settle back into firm life. Many thanks to everyone involved in planning this fantastic event. Looking forward to incriminating photos from the closing banquet.

Thank you, Connie, and everyone else who worked so hard to make this such a great conference! I learned a great deal, met wonderful librarians, made professional connections I know will help me in my work and my career, and discovered Toronto — my new favorite city! Let’s not wait another decade to do this again!

When will the conference program hand-outs be posted online? I realize everyone deserves a long break so I’ll be patient. I’m just excited to share my experiences with my co-workers. Thank you.

As soon as we can get them together and post them along with the audio. That will take a fair bit of work. One of the draw-backs of not having an actual meeting planner working with us is that things take a wee bit longer since we are doing it all in our spare time. But, we intend to have it posted as soon as we can.
Cheers,
Connie
