Kate has also promised to blog and "tweet" her way through a few sessions, so be on the lookout for updates. Also, this year NLADA has setup a social network for conference attendees, which can be accessed here. -M
NLADA's social networking tool is really neat. I hope attendees take advantage of option to upload a photo with their profiles -- what a helpful tool for in-person networking. The calendar feature reminded me about the NLADA Tech Section meeting, which might be of interest to Techno.la readers too. That's at noon-1:30pm on 11/20 in the Harding room.
And I'm organizing a TweetUp! You have to follow me on Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/kbladow) to get the details.
So glad you posted this, i see there are new sessions not on the NLADA conference site and i didnt see anything on there on the network site. Thanks
