The Great Ideas! InfoExpo at DC2006 is designed to provide an opportunity 
for peer-to-peer information sharing among archivists, repositories,
archival associations, and other organizations about programs and projects 
of high interest to the archival community nationwide.  The DC2006 
GreatIdeas! InfoExpo will focus on three topical areas:
-- Diversity
-- Archives Week/Month
-- Disaster planning and preparedness

The InfoExpo will run from 8:00 am to 5 pm, Thursday through Saturday, 
August 3-5. 

The Archives Week/Month InfoExpo is being coordinated by representatives 
from the SAA Reference, Access, and Outreach (RAO) Section with input from 
regional archival associations and state historical records advisory 
boards (SHRABs) having active Archives Week/Month programs.  They welcome 
contributions from any organization that would like to display posters, 
photographs, promotional items, or other items from their recent Archives 
Week or Month activities.
