Next Year’s AALL Conference – in Chicago!

Chicago 2016 LogoIt’s never too early to start planning for the next AALL conference.  In case you haven’t heard (but of course you have), it’s in Chicago in 2016. We’re very excited to host the meeting in our home town!   “Make it New, Create the Future” is the title: a rallying cry of  Chicago leaders following the great fire of 1871 and early modernist artists (represented by the Chicago Picasso sculpture logo).

Got ideas for programs you’d like to see?  A call for proposals will go out in September, which will be due sometime in October.  You’ll see more information on the CALL listserv and blog.

Is there something in Chicago that visiting law librarians shouldn’t miss?  Our Local Arrangements Committee, chaired by Maribel Nash and Megan Butman, are busy planning great activities for the conference and you can contact them with ideas.
