Tell your colleagues what you've been up to!

Hello Arlis/ANZ Community
I thought I would share some news about a few things I know are going on in the Arlis/ANZ community. And I also would like to encourage members to share their news aswell, by logging into your site profile and blogging.
I saw from Jane Wild's blog that she is off to the Medieval Imagination exhibition in Melbourne, and I hope she will be able to share her impressions of that event with us all, on her return.
On the Arlis/ANZ Conference front, I can let you know that we are well on track to pulling together an exciting event - if you haven't already seen, do check out the post about our two opening keynote speakers - they are going to be a dynamic double opener!
We have also commenced our sponsorship campaign, and I would welcome any suggestions from memebrs for business who would appreciate the opportunity to market their products at our conference, through taking out a sponsorship deal.
I also have news that Kelly McKeon, myself and Luisa Rossitto have been accepted to the ALIA Dreaming 08 conference in Alice Springs in September, where we will present a paper on the Arlis/ANZ website redevelopment. They liked our take on the web 2.0 phenomenon, from the viewpoint not of clients, but professional development! We will be talking about how a Web 2.0 approach to our site redevelopment is helping us grow communication and collaboration within our geographically distributed Society.
Kelly and I have also submited a paper to the Australian Library Journal, which is currently under peer review, and we are so pleased to be able to create opportunities to raise awareness of Arlis/ANZ amongst the general library community.
