Valley Forge Convention Center

The 2008 Conference Committee has been hard at work planning this year’s conference in Valley Forge. A PDF file of the Annual Conference Brochure is available on the brand new PaLA web site, www.palibaries.org.

Online registration for the conference is also available – just click on the 2008 PaLA Annual Conference link on the right side of the home page. You will also see links for a listing of sessions, as well as the opportunity to print/view your itinerary after you register.

You can register online and pay with a credit card, or you can opt in to send a check to PaLA. What’s more, online registrants can avoid the $10 processing fee assessed to paper registrations! Libraries registering multiple staff can save big, as the $10 online savings is available for each registration. Invoices can be printed during the registration process and submitted to the library’s accounting department for remittance – and a group of registrations can be paid with one check.

What’s more, the online registration process will be linked with the PaLA membership database, pre-populating much of the registration information for members and saving you time! Simply log in as a member to receive the PaLA member discounted rate and this time-saving benefit. Username and password instructions will be shared at the log-in prompt. Non-members can also enjoy the savings and ease of online registration by registering as a non-member and can easily download a membership application should they wish to join and take advantage of the discounted member rate.

For even more savings, the early bird registration rate is available through September 30, 2008. (Save an additional $20 for full conference and $10 on the daily rate). After September 30, you will still be able to register, but at the regular conference rates. We encourage you to register today! You will not want to miss the fantastic line-up of programs, poster sessions, exhibitors, guest authors, luncheons, dinners and tours available during the conference.

Hope to see you in Valley Forge!
