PLA - A paperless conference

PLA is paperless making the national conference a 2.0 training event. Unlike previous conferences when the professional association consumed uncounted reams of paper to produce sufficient guestimates, the only paper handouts at PLA #12 will be those individual speakers choose to share. While sometimes the the number of copies and the number of people are in balance, that is usually the exception. More likely, there are those very popular sessions where handouts disappear within seconds or the opposite where lots of folks are expected, few show and there are copies galore. Since PLA has committed to keeping the electronic handouts live for a year,
it will be easy to reference a program or download it to a PC or
portable drive when needed. This makes PLA a "green" conference, saving paper and reducing waste. Great idea and one that is practical, efficient, and a good use of my professional dues.
