“CATS” of APLIC – A Tweet-Up and Meet-Up with the ALIA Students and New Graduates Group
Are you attending the 2018 Australia Pacific Library and Information Conference? Daunted about networking and meeting new people? Let CATS of APLIC make this process a little bit easier.
#CATSofAPLIC or “Connect Achieve Together Socially” is a way for newcomers and seasoned professionals to meet informally and connect with some amazing GLAMRzons! Keep an eye out for the hashtag #CATSofAPLIC from @ALIANewGrads on Twitter for fun daily activities designed to connect you with fellow delegates in-person and online and to discuss hot topics and ideas from the conference.
