Are you a IAML member or do you work for a IAML member institution? Did you attend IAML 2011 in Dublin? Feel like registering for IAML 2012 before February 15? If you answered “yes” to all 3 questions, there is a special Early Bird rate for you! The first 20 people to register for IAML 2012 in Montréal will enjoy a special low rate of $375. Register now!

As we announced at last year’s closing session, IAML members who attended Dublin 2011 have a 2-week window to take advantage of this special Early Bird rate. The higher Regular Early Bird registration opens to all on February 15, 2012. But don’t delay: this offer is valid only for the first 20 registrations or until February 14, whichever comes first.

We look forward to seeing you all in Montréal!
