Meeting new people
It’s not easy for me to meet new people… UNLESS I’m at the IA Conference, where I know I’m surrounded by like-minded folk. I meet at least one new person every year, and it is often the highlight of my conference.

For me, the IA Conference is like a reunion. I get to see folks I’ve known since the first one in 2000 and reconnect with former colleagues.
As a conference mostly organized by and staffed by volunteers from the IA world, it may not be as polished as other tech conferences, but it creates a strong sense of belonging. Everyone feels a responsibility for making it great.
If you know me, you know I love board games. Several years ago, the IA Conference started hosting a game night, and now it is a hallowed tradition. I always have a blast playing games with my favorite group of folks. (Don’t worry. If board games are not your thing, there’s also Karaoke.)
If you want more impressions, insights, or encouragement, let’s chat!
