It was a great day! Really good conference, fantastic company, good info., good weather (like the rain - liked that it didn't rain for the drive)!
National Family Literacy Conference Overall
- Pros - Well planned, very professional (organized website w/ download materials, signage, the main speaker layout with stage / screens / giveaways).
- Improvements - exhibitors (same as CLA - could use sprucing), time table (lunch 45 min.), main speakers at the end of the day - hard to find in brochure
Favorite things about today - new conference, new resources, new info to help us do our jobs better, new ideas! free muffins and umbrellas - and a starbucks that was actually open in the hotel.
Funny things about today - the camera man filming us while we ate close up (like 2 feet away), same guy later that day in the hallway, then AGAIN during one of the conference sessions, Wes Moore's presentation, the people selling purses in the exhibit hall.

Glad this turned out to be as good a conference as it looked from the program.
