The ALA conference in Anaheim offers many programs, an embarrassment of opportunities. Yet meetings cannot be too attractive, for they have a competitor; not so much from other meetings but from the semi-euphemistically named exhibitors (i.e., sellers), who partly sponsor the conference.
If there are too many attractive meetings, the exhibitors lose their customers, who have a time budget. On the other hand, if too many meetings appear dull or irrelevant, fewer library people will attend the conference.
