Al Gore will deliver opening keynote at SLA 2007!

I’m a week late on this one, but how exciting is this?

Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore to Speak at 2007 SLA Annual Conference in Denver
Between Gore’s opening keynote and Scott Adams’ closing keynote, I’m very much looking forward to SLA. Those speakers alone make it very appealing. I just hope neither of them have to cancel, as Bill Clinton did for the 2005 conference.

It’s a tough choice though: my boss will be going to CALL in Ottawa, and I guess I could go to that one instead. For the cities themselves, I’d rather go to Ottawa than Denver, but I’m sorry… AL GORE! Aieeeee!

    CALL in Ottawa will be wonderful, although I don’t think we can compete with Al Gore. Unless there is someone out there willing to cough up sponsorship at that level — all our registration dollars totalled will not pay his fee.

    The “wow factor” headliners *are* nice, but I’ve seen keynote speakers I’d never heard of who turned out to be fantastic. In fact, I think those big names often give speeches that aren’t that relevant - interesting, yes, but not necessarily at all related to the organization. It will be interesting to see what old Al talks about!
