Announced on an SLA Chapter list this morning — Former U.S. president Bill Clinton will give a keynote speech at the SLA Annual Conference in Toronto. It will be on Wednesday morning, June 8th. All the unit breakfast and business meetings which were to have started at 7:30 a.m. have been moved a half hour earlier, to 7 a.m. It fills what was a funny hole in the schedule. Before the Clinton announcement, the schedule had a big blank space between 9 a.m., when the breakfasts were scheduled to end, and 10 a.m., when the exhibit hall opened. That weirdness is now fixed. It does seem a bit strange to me, however, that I will leave the U.S. to listen to a former U.S. president.
