LA Conference Countdown
We're off to Los Angeles to get everything ready for the 2015 GIA Conference. The conference gets started on Sunday, October 18 and runs through Wednesday, October 21. You can follow the proceedings by looking up the hashtag #giarts on social media (if you are attending, please use that hashtag for your tweets and posts).

Our conference bloggers this year will be Lara Davis from Seattle Office of Arts and Culture and Barry Hessenius from WESTAF. You can check up on their posts at the conference blog, http://blogs.giarts.org/gia2015

If you'll be joining us in Los Angeles, watch for your welcome email on Wednesday morning. It will provide you with some useful information to get your feet on the ground in LA. We can't wait to see you there!
