Adventures in Exhibiting - or - Where are we and where the heck are we going??

Exhibiting is a part of what we do in the NER. Traditionally, the fall and the spring are the busy seasons for exhibiting. But, for us, exhibiting happens all year round and in all sorts of venues. Here's where we've been since April 2006:

1. Caring Health Center Health Fair - Springfield, MA
2. RI Educational Media Association - Warwick, RI
3. Holliston Women's Health Fair - Holliston, MA
4. MA Public Health Nursing Association - Westborough, MA
5. New England School Nurse Association - Stowe, VT
6. CT Library Association - Wallingford, CT
7. Partners in Perinatal Health - Marlborough, MA
8. VT Public Health Association - Essex, VT
9. American Association of Immunologists - Boston, MA
10. VT Libraries Conference - Burlington, VT
11. ALA - New Orleans, LA
12. MA Osteopathic Society - Cambridge, MA
13. World Transplant Congress - Boston, MA
14. MA Teachers Association - Williamstown, MA
15. Hispanic Health Council - Hartford, CT
16. American Psychological Association - New Orleans, LA

Yes, you read correctly. We've been as far away as New Orleans and as close as Marlborough, MA, just down the road from our office. Each exhibiting experience has its own flavor. We've exhibited in small hotel meeting rooms, in major conference venues like the Hynes and the new Boston Convention and Exposition Center (aka the "BCEC") and outside in parks. At some events, we've been invited to give presentations as well as exhibit. Sometimes, the conference attendees are eager to talk about what's new from NLM and chat. Sometimes, they act like we're tying to sell 'em something!

And we're not done yet for the year. Here's what's up between September and December, 2006:

1. Lamaze International Conference - Boston, MA
2. Case Management Society of New England - Falmouth, MA
3. MA Public Health Association - Marlborough, MA
4. MA Councils on Aging - Falmouth, MA
5. NAHSL - Hartford, CT
6. NELA - Burlington, VT
7. CT Public Health Association - Hartford, CT
8. Pri-Med East - Boston, MA
9. MA School Library Media Association - Sturbridge, MA
10. American Public Health Association - Boston, MA
11. Nurse Practitioner Association for Continuing Education - Boston, MA

So, if you're at any of those events, come on over to the exhibit area and say hello.

And, if there's an event taking place in your part of the world and you think we might want to be there to exhibit, let us know. Or, if you'd like to be the exhibitor, representing your library (and NLM) at an event, we can help you do that - just get in touch and we'll talk.
