Here's what previous attendees have to say about the National Forum:
- "I came away with substantial knowledge about project management, among other things, that I will be able to immediately apply in my department. Well worth the trip."
- "It was one of the best conferences I have attended. I met a far greater concentration of peers - colleagues at other libraries doing similar work - at LITA Forum than I have met at other similar conferences."
Remember: registration is limited to 500 and the LITA-rate at the Hyatt is available through September 1. Don’t miss out!
