GLiBA introduced "IndieNights" last year - a day when members met simultaneously in separate meetings around the region to reconnect with each other and discuss issues of mutual interest. It was an attempt to recreate the intimate exchange of industry lore and know-how that takes place at board meetings and at the best of encounters at the fall trade show, BEA, and Winter Institute.
It succeeded very well, so we're continuing the tradition this
year with
IndieNights on Tuesday, March 2. These meetings have an open agenda, but we are planning to begin each one with a "Best of Winter Institute" discussion where people who attended Wi5 in San Jose will get the chance to share the high points of that conference. We'll also have information about E-Fairness, an issue that we've seen some success with in four states around the country and feel there are opportunities for headway in the states in the GLiBA region.
Here are details on the meetings:
