The APLIC Communicator is looking for people to report on sessions at the APLIC conference in Ann Arbor next week. If you are attending the conference and would like to submit a brief report on a session, or on the conference as a whole, contact Laurie Calhoun and let her know.

If you can’t make it to the conference, keep an eye on this blog for announcements from our team of APLIC bloggers!

A draft of the notes from the 2008 business meeting held during the APLIC Annual Conference in New Orleans is now available.

I’ve started using the hashtag #aplic2009 to share news and thoughts about the upcoming APLIC conference in Ann Arbor on Twitter. You can see all the #aplic2009 posts on the Twitter site, or you can subscribe to an RSS feed.

If you’re going to the conference, join in the conversation by adding #aplic2009 to your posts.

Not familiar with Twitter? It’s a service that allows users to post short (up to 140 characters) updates, either from a computer or from a mobile phone.

The program for APLIC’s 2009 Annual Conference is now available on our web site.

The deadline to mail in your registration is today (April 1) – don’t miss out on this conference, to be held on the University of Michigan campus and featuring an exciting line-up of speakers and tours.
