*Let's Chat Breakout Sessions*
Less formal than a breakout session, but more structured than an
un-conference, Let's Chat sessions are a chance for important library topics
to be discussed. The topics and moderators have been selected for you, but
you get to choose your participation level. Add your two cents and Let's
Chat!

*Just Lunch - Trivia Challenge*
This fun, lively and entertaining lunch will make you forget that you are,
dare we say, networking! This table vs. table trivia challenge will offer
opportunities to collaborate, connect and engage with your fellow
librarians. Winners take home bragging rights but everyone leaves as a
networking champion!
