ALIA Access 2010 is taking place at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre from 1 – 3 September 2010.

The 2010 event will challenge the traditional format of ALIA conferences with a focus on making the conference more ‘accessible’ for delegates and vendors. More will be revealed as the planning progresses……

The 3-day multi-sector conference will feature library tours, video streaming, a conference dinner and an associated exhibition with library industry suppliers.

ALIA Access will also feature a rich online component.

Conference website – the first and last word on official conference news and information

Conference blog (RSS feed) -  The blog will feature speaker profiles, list the companies which will be sponsoring and exhibiting at the conference, highlight changes to the conference program as well as sharing the best things to do and places to visit in Brisbane.  Feel free to use the comments sections in the blog to ask questions and discuss the conference.

Twitter – members of the conference committee will be using this account to keep you up to date with conference planning, as well as highlighting changes to the conference website and blog

Facebook – another place to watch for breaking conference news, along with space to share conference stories, photos and more.

For those of you who like to blog, tweet, photoshare and slideshare, there is also a conference tag – #aliaaccess. Please add the tag to your posts, photos, tweets etc. so your colleagues from around the world can follow the conference through your reports, discussions, debates and images.

I look forward to meeting you in Brisbane in September.
