      Description

- Did you miss your Association Conference this year?
- Could you not take the time to attend a major conference?
- Have you always wanted to experience a national library conference, 
but never had the opportunity to attend?

The Mini Conference is designed for you! This one-day event is a great 
way to get a "taste" of the conference experience right here in 
Cincinnati without travel cost and major registration fees. The Mini 
Conference is designed to resemble the highlights of any conference - 
two keynote speakers, plenty of sessions to choose from, ample 
networking opportunities, and of course, FOOD!

Join SWON Libraries to experience a taste of the conference 
experience--right here in Cincinnati!

You may register for either half of the day, or the full day of activities.
