[ISLMA-Share] Targeting Autism nation forum Registration Now Open

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

All:

Registration is now open for the 2017 Targeting Autism National Forum (a forum to help libraries of all types better serve patrons, students and family members impacted by autism), to be held at the Illinois State Library, Springfield, IL, on May 11-12.

Lodging will be provided, May 10-11, at the Springfield Wyndham Hotel (formerly Hilton).  Upon registration, a room will be reserved in your name.  Meals and snacks during the conference will also be provided.  Reimbursement for transportation, however, will only be provided to forum presenters.

As in past years, the Illinois State Library can accommodate 80 participants.  We would like to encourage participation from those who have not previously attended one or both of the earlier forums.  If you have attended in the past, we encourage you to register early as registration for previous attendees will be on a first-come-first-serve basis.  As always, all forum sessions will be recorded for viewing on the Targeting Autism YouTube Channel<https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzCcPYorVv2l7OcllfCgdVg/>.

To register for the 2017 Targeting Autism Forum, simply send an email to Suzanne Schriar<mailto:sschriar at ilsos.net> and include the following information:
