Dear folks, were you planning to register for the 2009 Evergreen International Conference and then realized the Early Bird deadline had slipped by? Or did you try to register last week and you ran into a glitch or two? Well, you’re in luck, because we just extended the Early Bird registration deadline to Monday, April 13!

So just mosey on over to the conference registration website (can you tell a bunch of us just got back from Texas Library Association’s conference?) and get yourselves registered. Note that the website URL has changed to http://www.lyrasis.org/evergreen .

We have close to 100 people registered already, an outstanding program lineup, fabulous keynote speakers (Joe Lucia and Jessamyn West), and many opportunities to make this first Evergreen conference truly YOUR conference!

Don’t delay — we’re holding this to 150 attendees and if you’ve been meaning to register, now is your golden opportunity to get a great deal and make sure you can attend Evergreen International Conference 2009!

Also see the conference wiki, with the program lineup, local activities, and much more.

Early bird registration for the Evergreen International Conference ends close of business tomorrow, Friday, April 3. Do not tarry, save $10 and register now at the NEW (note: I said NEW) conference web address:

http://www.lyrasis.org/evergreen

We have 18 great programs, two great keynotes (Jessamyn West and Joe Lucia), and a slew of user-generated activities such as lightning talks, table talks, Birds of a Feather, dine-arounds, hackfests, and more! See the conference wiki for all kinds of eg09 goodness (to invoke the conference social-awareness tag).

Some of us are planning to have a high-level discussion about documentation on 1-4 p.m. on May 20 (the “hackfest” day). If you’re interested, give a holler. If you have other ideas, share them here, on the list, or elsewhere!

Hope to see you at the conference — which is jointly sponsored by Georgia Public Library Service, LYRASIS, and Equinox Software.
