We have an almost-completed line-up for the Access Conference in Charlottetown (September 30-October 3), so I would encourage all those who would like to attend one of the best library tech conferences around to book a spot now. You can get more information at the site: http://vre.upei.ca/access2009/ We are also still looking for Hackfest ideas, so please fill out the form (http://vre.upei.ca/access2009/node/86) and help us make this one an Island success. Access does tend to fill up come summer and Charlottetown is a visitors delight at the end of September (that means the hotels get full too), so I highly recommend you register now and book your hotel as soon as possible to make sure you will get a place to stay (like you will sleep anyway...). The talks will be inspiring, the social events awesome and the bling very special indeed. Hoping to see you in Charlottetown for some special times, The Access 2009 Team
