I don’t think funding will allow me to go this year, but the Call for Presenters for Internet Librarian 2007 (Oct. 29-31) is out. The theme this year is 2.0: Info Pros, Library Communities, & Web Tools, and proposals are due by March 26th! I’ve spoken at IL the past two years and really enjoyed the experience. Monterey is a wonderful location, the organizers really have it all together, and most importantly, I’ve learned useful things and met good people each time! Even if you don’t throw in a proposal to speak, you should go.

I gotta second Paul–if you can go at all, try to make it. I’m seriously considering paying for it out of my own pocket this year if I can’t get it covered through MPOW’s conference budget or other means…it’s big enough that you meet a wide variety of people, but not so huge as to be intimidating. 🙂
Paul, you do a good job on selling this! 🙂 So far, you’ve been right about at least one conference you’ve recommended (Northern Voice), so I’m assuming you’re right about this one too. If only I had the money too. Maybe next year…
Laurie, this one certainly is a winner, and if you present they waive the conference fee, so you save a couple hundred at least. And I’m pretty sure the weather in Monterey is better than in the Yukon at the end of October 😉
