CONFERENCE APP (sponsored by Bloomberg Law)
AALL 2018 IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND
When you get to Baltimore, the
printed program you receive will look a little different. The newly-designed "right-sized" booklet will still include a simplified events index, but you'll find more comprehensive (and current) information online, on the conference app. From your mobile device, just visit
eventmobi.com/aall2018 or search for "AALL 2018" in your app store (iTunes or Android) and download the app today. You'll be able to:
- Build your personalized agenda
- Sync your desktop planning
- Access detailed program, meeting, and event information
- Use the search bar to easily find scheduled events, speakers, and attendees for programs; you can do a quick search by alphanumeric code
- View interactive floor maps
- Access program handouts
- View speaker profiles
- Connect with attendees and exhibitors
- Receive important updates and notifications, including prize drawing winners
See each day's schedule at-a-glance in a list view, or use the table option to see everything in a customizable matrix view. Remember to accept "push notifications" to receive important announcements, emergency notifications, and reminders while you're at the conference. Don't have a mobile device? You can still build your own schedule by
visiting the app.

AALL'S ADVOCACY LEADERSHIP
CHAMPION LEGAL INFORMATION
Learn how to use your knowledge, passion, and research skills to champion legal information at Advocacy Leadership: Law Librarians Ignite Change during the AALL Annual Meeting in Baltimore. As a legal information expert and constituent of your elected officials, you hold the power to influence your legislators' opinions on the essential information policy issues that support our democracy. Find out how to protect the internet after the repeal of the Federal Communications Commission's net neutrality rules and how to fight for no-fee access to legal materials in the face of threats from Congress to eliminate print. You'll also have an opportunity to join AALL's Advocacy Team, a network of law librarians who are committed to championing legal information. This year's program will be preceded by the AALL Public Policy Update, which will inform participants about the Association's legislative priorities and activities.

BALTIMORE ACCOMMODATIONS
BOOK WITH ONPEAK
Discounted rooms are still available through
onPeak--the only officially-endorsed housing company for the AALL Annual Meeting & Conference--but
only until July 2. After that, unsold rooms must be released. Beware of offers you may have received from other companies posing as official travel vendors for this year's Annual Meeting. They are NOT affiliated with AALL in any capacity and cannot provide the same benefits and protection that onPeak offers. AALL only guarantees hotel room rates or availability during the conference dates for reservations made through onPeak, the official housing company.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
COMING SOON
Watch for the July 3 edition of the Annual Meeting Update, "Know Before You Go," which will be loaded with important information to enhance your Baltimore experience!
