OLA Super Conference

The Ontario Library Association’s annual conference is a day away! The Super Conference has become one of my favourite conferences of the year and this year’s programme is more stellar than ever. It’s a pretty large conference (100s of sessions, 100s of speakers, 1000s of attendees), so it’s one that you definitely need to plan ahead for. This year, rather than mucking about in the online conference planner (which never seems to work for me), I thought I would jot down my schedule here. If you’re attending the conference and plan to be at any of these sessions, stop me & say hello!
