Dine Around Philadelphia
We are revamping the popular Dine Around program, putting it into your hands!
You can help with the 2014 Dine Around Philadelphia by serving as a Table Host - meaning you get to organize the Dine Around of your choice! ALA will provide restaurant suggestions, assist in marketing to fill your Dine Around table, and host your open-seating site. You will be free to select the restaurant, date and time, and will make and coordinate your group's reservation. What a great way to meet new colleagues around a dinner of your choosing.
For more information about participating as a Dine Around Philadelphia Table Host, please contact Lindsay Rosales at lro-sales@ala.org.
Networking Uncommons
Make the connections you want at the Networking Uncommons space in the Convention Center. It's a dedicated area where you can gather in small groups to have a quick meeting, polish your presentation, follow up on a discussion, or just recharge your batteries. The area features tables, chairs, free convention center wifi, and a projector and screen, as well as some gadgets in case you want to push content out in real-time. Sign up for a time slot if you want to plan ahead - otherwise just show up. During open times, the area is up for grabs, although it's big enough that multiple groups can use it at once, even when someone has scheduled something. You can also check the topics each day to see what interests you.
