Do we have some parties planned for you!

Start the conference off right by attending the Welcome Party at the Nasher on Tuesday. Harpists and a string quartet will serenade you while you stroll the grounds and view the art in the building and on the lawn. Nasher Representatives [wearing Nasher badges] will be available in the Indoor Galleries to answer questions from 6:30 to 8:30pm. And be sure to pick up some of the amazing food from Wolfgang Puck’s restaurant that will be served on the outside patio where you can enjoy the cool evening breeze. Drinks will be available from a cash bar.

All-Conference Welcome Party

This event is sponsored by Ingram Library Services Inc.

And then, for something completely different on Wednesday, get down at the President’s All-Conference Party sponsored by Baker and Taylor at the legendary Eddie Deen's Ranch.

EBSCO and Encyclopedia Brittanica will be providing appetizers as well as alcoholic beverages fortifying enough to loosen you up for the complimentary Butt Sketch Artist! (Does the “complimentary” part mean the final sketch will be attractive, no matter what?) Live music will be provided by Brave Combo. This promises to be a true slice of down-home Texas—big, rowdy, and lots of fun—so don’t miss it.
