Last week, we exhibited at the AALL conference in Denver. This was our third year attending the conference, and each year we’ve had a great time. Much of the fun is meeting the people that come by our booth and learning about what they do. It’s a great way to keep up with the pulse of the industry.

As exhibitors, we bring pens, letter openers and buttons to give away, and people seem to love it. The buttons have sayings on them that are geared towards librarians, and it’s great when they bring a big smile and laugh from folks who are just stopping by. We also take names for a daily drawing, and the response is always the same. “Oh, sure… why not. It doesn’t matter since I never win anything anyways.” Well, here’s proof that someone wins!

• Jennifer Berman, McDermott Will & Emery LLP
• Kate Martin, McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP
• Ann Morris, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP

These three won a $100 giftcard to the choice of Barnes & Noble, Starbucks or Amazon. If you’d like a chance to win next year, keep an eye out for the blue and orange booth at the next show!
