Did you think the Leadership Summit in Louisville in 2008 was the first SLA Conference in Kentucky? Well, think again. Louisville also had a Winter meeting in 1982 and an Annual Conference way back in 1917.
How did I come across these tidbits of conference information? Why on this handy-dandy interactive Google Map that some intelligent, resourceful, handsome, young man put together. Now if I only knew who that man was so I could thank him.
In any case, every annual and winter meeting that SLA has had since its inception is available for your browsing pleasure. Find out just how many meetings have occurred in D.C. and New York, or what backwoods location they chose for a meeting in 1910. The answers to those particular questions are a whole lot and Mackinac Island in the UP. Take a look for yourself and see what other conference oddities you can find.
