Are you planning to attend your first ALA Annual Conference? First-time attendees are invited to sign up for a conference buddy who can guide you through selecting conference sessions, navigating conference venues, and answer any other questions you might have. This is a great way to learn about ACRL and expand your professional network!

How much time are we talking? It's up to you. We suggest the buddy/mentor make the first contact after initially signing up and go from there. You may want to meet up after the ACRL 101 session (a great start for first-time attendees or a refresher for experienced conference goers) or go the Exhibits, have coffee, or grab some lunch together. You might meet up with your buddy just once, or a few times throughout the conference. The intent is primarily for helping orient the new person to the event and helping them feel comfortable (we were all new once!).

Fill out the form below and your information will be added to the Buddy Program List: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0844afa622abfc1-acrl. Your information should appear on the list within 1 business day.  

The deadline for signing up is Friday, June 17th.

If you have any questions please contact Jodie Borgerding at jborgerding80@webster.edu.
