Tips for Making the Most of an SLA Conference

Attending SLA's annual conference in Washington, D.C. this year? Here are some helpful hints for 'newbies' from the SLA's LDI (Leadership Development Institute.)

Prior to Conference:

• Attend LDI. You will develop leadership skills for use both in SLA and on the job; you'll learn valuable information about SLA to use during your time as a unit leader; and you'll make connections with other leaders that will be invaluable for years to come.
• Go through the Online Planner and make a schedule for yourself or print out descriptions of all of the sessions you might wish to attend, then hone down to a day-by-day agenda—including alternatives, just in case.
• Have at least two sessions chosen for every time slot. That way, if you get to one and the room is overflowing or the topic isn't what you thought it would be, you can make the most of your time by heading to your second choice.
• Use the calendar SLA provides to document your activities.
• Try to attend a few sessions outside of your area of specialty.
