<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I went to ALA Midwinter a long time ago (last time it was in Seattle, I think), and I found it to be not as relevant as ALA in June. It felt to me like it would be more useful to attend if you serve on ALA committees,
because that's where many of them meet and conduct business. Keynote speakers this look good, but Robin DeAngelo is already speaking for free at Skagit Valley College the Friday after the conference, so I'm skipping it this year. I think vendor exhibits might
be good to attend. George from Ebsco was able to get us free tickets for those...</p>
