CPC26 Networking Event Brainstorming by https://padlet.com/uhlibraries/ucpsf6bs6tjyf6zx Let's brainstorm a Sunday morning (March 29) Networking Event! We are thinking of this as a "Cultivate community/connections conference kick off" time to connect with your community and make new friends in the link up lounge. All CPC members will be encouraged to attend (unless volunteering elsewhere), as well as TLA Executive Board members. We have the "Plug & Work" space from 9:30-10:30am. en-us 2025-02-24 17:17:05 UTC 2026-01-27 20:45:45 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-uploads-usc1.storage.googleapis.com/3449117556/b505c1d3152e6adfdab770e3f0fd7183/TLA2026_Logo_RGB_tag_450_px.jpg oer7 https://padlet.com/uhlibraries/ucpsf6bs6tjyf6zx/wish/3600179571 Have QR codes available for Journey maps on tables

For example, Children's Round Table probably wouldn't be on the CULD list, but could/would be on the PLD and TASL lists. The discussion groups could be included as well. I'm not sure though if some RT would be left out and whether or not this would actually come across as exclusionary or not though.

I'm thinking some sort of old school, physical sign with flashing lights ( might be over the top, LOL) but something that really grabs people's attention in the registration area and conveys the time, location and a one sentence descriptor.
