First-Time SLD Conference Attendee?
Don't go it alone! We know it can be daunting to attend an ATA Annual Conference and not know anyone. But it doesn't have to be. Join SLD Newcomer Coordinator Lucy Gunderson and other first-time attendees 15 minutes before the opening gala on Wednesday night. This is an opportunity to get a jump start on meeting other SLD members and experienced conference-goers who are always willing to offer tips and tricks for getting the most from the conference. And what's more, you'll have a built-in group of friends to compare notes and meet for lunch! So, if you're a first-time SLD attendee, contact Lucy at russophile@earthlink.net.
