As the birthplace of America's Declaration of Independence and the home of the earliest electronic computer, Philadelphia-the City of Brotherly Love-offers a unique blend of history and progress. But did you know that Philadelphia is also the site of the nation's first public library? What more fitting destination, then, for thousands of information professionals to gather for four days of learning, networking and sharing at the 2011 SLA Annual Conference and INFO-EXPO.

Conference highlights will include the VIP Need to Know Forum, designed to educate local executives about the information profession; the opening keynote speaker, award-winning New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman; the closing speaker, James Kane, a leading authority on building and maintaining loyal business relationships; and the INFO-EXPO, a showcase of the latest industry products and a place to network with top service providers, colleagues and friends.

Don't miss this opportunity to become 'future ready' by exchanging ideas and connecting with thousands of fellow information professionals, all gathered in the historic city where the U.S. Constitution was written and the Declaration of Independence was signed. Join SLA 12-15 June 2011 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center for the SLA 2011 Annual Conference & INFO-EXPO.
