- There will be a special salute to Huey Long, who founded the symposium in 1986.
- Meet the Authors rotating roundtables will give you the opportunity of small-group conversations with the First Presenters and MKA winners.
- Best Practices Roundtables by area and level will allow you to learn of some of the most recent developments in SDL that are most closely aligned with your interests.
- As usual, the Silent Auction will not only offer fun and excitement, but will raise funds for 2017 student scholarships.
The 2016 SDL Symposium will be Out of This World!
Time Capsule
You are invited to bring a meaningful item to place in a time capsule that we plan to open at the 40th Symposium. In a general session or at the dinner, we will accept the items and give you a chance to say a few words about your contribution. Don’t miss all the learning, all the great colleagues, and all the fun!!!
