NECC 2009 - are you going?

Hi all, I'm gathering my info to register for NECC in Washington DC this year from June 28 - July 1. Is anyone else going?? I will be by myself so this will be a neat place to "introduce" ourselves in advance. Hope to see you there! Susan

  • Yes!!!! I am finally going after years of schedule conflicts with ALA!
    Susan, you will love it and you will not be alone for long! Definitely attend the SIGMS meeting to meet more library media specialists. If you have time, visit the Smithsonian with all those wonderful museums!
  • Just posted in my blog http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/blog/1340000334/post/330044633....
    Ningers, let's try to meet up at some of these sessions.
  • I will be there! Looking forward to DC --i"ll attend the EdubloggerCon the Saturday before as well.
  • Hi Susan,

    I'm travelling from Australia to attend NECC. My family are coming with me and we are spending time in LA and New York. They are leaving from New York and I'm continuing down to Virginia and then onto Washington. Hopefully I'll be able to meet up with you and other librarians there.
  • I'll be there. Please make sure you come to our TeacherLibrarian Tech Tools Smackdown. Lots of us will be there. You'll love NECC.

    joyce
    • Ooooh! that sounds fun, Joyce...can you give us the details on this Smackdown? the who, what, when & where? ... already can guess the why! LOL
  • Yes - I just got my registration in this week! I have never been to NECC in person before - but have avidly followed the back-channels for the last couple of years.
    I'll be traveling with our district's technology integration specialist and our director for Educational Technology.

    I am looking forward to great sessions - and meeting some of you there! -Nancy
  • Hi Susan,

  • Yes please Gwyneth! I'd love to hear your suggestions. Susan

      as Ken P writes:
      "OK, so I hate knock offs and this is a knock off of the original in NY.

      But, I also own a few, and like my "omega" watch, a good knock off is hard to pass up.

      The atmosphere is a bit stuffy (-1) but other wise, the food, the service dead on. Highlight, pomegranate margarita and fresh guacamole.

      And just like a good knock off, she aint cheap, but I think worth it..."
