Ah, post con. That’s conference committee speak for “We made it through another year. Where the heck is the spa in this place?” ILTA ‘09 may be over but only in the sense that we are leaving the Gaylord. Here’s my list of ways to bring the VALUE of conference back home for you, for your peers and for your firm or company:
- Promote ILTA membership to others when you get “home.” The value of webinars, product demos, regional and city meetings, online and archived materials, listservs and networking with ILTA peers doesn’t stop this week. It continues all year. Let the rest of your IT, Records, Finance, KM, Risk Management, senior management, project management, lit support, and marketing personnel in on the ILTA benefits. If your firm or company is a member, so is everyone that works there!
- Review what you learned and make plans to apply it or promote it sooner rather than later.
- Don’t let the contacts you made grow cold. Follow up with a hello in person or virtually.
- Get on the ILTA website and sign up for the E-Groups that interest you. Stumped by a problem? Share it on the appropriate E-Group and get feedback from members who may have resolved it before. Share information from the E-Groups with others in your firm that could benefit from it.
- And finally, a shameless plug for conference committee and speakers for ILTA’10. Interested in serving on conference committee? Have a suggestion for an educational session for next year? Willing to share what you know with others as a speaker at next year’s conference? Contact any ILTA officer or ILTA staff member. We’ll get you connected to the right person.
SYINFI’10. That’s ILTA-speak for “See You In Nashville For ILTA ‘10!”
