The 30th Annual SALIS Conference
in Seattle was a milestone event. The theme
of "Stepping into the Future"
brought together presentations addressing emerging
technologies and how they are changing the way
we work, ways to better connect with our communities,
and the future of our organization and field,
and included a tour of the innovative Seattle
Public Library, and the SALIS 30th Anniversary
celebration, complete with cake and anecdotes
about what conference attendees were doing 30
years ago!. The meeting was held at the
Warwick Hotel
in downtown Seattle, and hosted by Nancy Sutherland,
Pam Miles, and Meg Brunner at the University of
Washington Alcohol
& Drug Abuse Institute.
