Latest news from Julianna

The President's Program Auditorium number is W375e.

We've heard that a good street location to get dropped off by a cab is Indiana, 1 block East of Michigan. If you then come in Gate 40, the escalators to Registration are in between W182 and W183. I think that the elevator, restrooms and watercoolers are nearby too.

The shuttle schedule is downloadable from the link below.

I'll be at PLA 101: ALA Annual Conference for First Time Attendees on Sat from 8-9 at the Chicago Hilton, Room: Northwest 4, if you want to meet me and learn about Annual Conference from pros, Christine and Michelle! (Julianna, PLA's Program Coordinator)
