After an oh-so-brief summer respite from conference travel, we're gearing up for a busy fall. With back-to-back — and sometimes overlapping — events, the Springy Team is dividing and conquering, crisscrossing the country (and the Atlantic Ocean!) because we're just that excited to see our library pals in person.
We hope you're as pumped as we are to meet up and chat about libraries, books, technology, Springshare, and more. We're already looking forward to answering your questions, showing off new features, and giving away plenty of flyers and swag.
Will we see you at any of these upcoming conferences? Leave us a comment below to let us know which conference you're attending!
