SLA 2006: On the Horizon.

This article reports that the crowds filtering in and out of the Baltimore Convention Center for the SLA conference held June 11-14 ferried an arsenal of necessities: SLA 2006 Conference Guides, signature totes, laptops, name tags, and comfortable shoes. On the conference exhibit floor, giveaways abounded: There were oversized faux gem rings from Alacra, twinkling star pins from Thomson, corporate gift bags, company logo pens, ice cream, wine, shoulder massages, munchables, and--yes--even parrots.
