Hi all –

Just to point out: this is a really great deal on a day full of professional development, with meals and free parking in Hartford. It’s a perfect opportunity for library IT staff, school librarians, Makerspace fans, and anyone interested in broadband connectivity, internet security, and tech stuff. And you’ll see librarians on some of the session panels too.

Plus, did you notice that the morning keynote speaker, Eric O’Neill, is the subject of a Hollywood movie, and he’s an expert on espionage and cybersecurity? Now how often do you get to hear from someone like that in Connecticut?

Net Neutrality! Ransomware! Closing the Homework Gap! What’s not to love?

Please encourage your staff and coworkers to attend. Use coupon code CENLibraries2018 to register for just $65.
