From: ARSL_MEMBERSHIP [mailto:arsl_membership-bounces@cvl-lists.org] On Behalf Of Erin Busbea Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2017 2:50 PM To: ARSL ListServ <arsl_membership@cvl-lists.org> Subject: [ARSL_MEMBERSHIP] 2018 ARSL Conference - Springfield, Illinois Planning for the 2018 ARSL conference in Springfield, Illinois is well underway. We have 273 days left until we are Linking Libraries in the Land of Lincoln! The conference planning committee works hard to keep costs for conference affordable, but we do not always know exact pricing until we get closer to conference registration. We anticipate the 2018 registration and lodging to be similar to last year. For budgeting purposes, please estimate up to $285.00 for conference registration for ARSL members and up to $110.00 per night plus any taxes at the conference hotel. We will update you once we have exact numbers. More information will be shared with you all soon regarding the call for program proposals, registration, and keynote speakers. The committee is working hard to bring in some amazing keynotes for 2018 and we cannot wait to share that information with you. We hope to see you all in Springfield in September!
