2016 Conference Themes

Remember your prom theme? Neither do I, but the decorations all matched so I can only assume. The 2016 KLAS Conference is like Nerd Prom only without the gowns, awkward dancing, and underage drinking. We do however need a unifying theme to tie it all together.

Post your ideas here.

(Serious inquiries only!)

Ideas to inspire possible themes from the 10/20/15 Logistics Committee call:

• Gold Rush
• Go West
• Walt Disney
• Knotts family or farm
• Orange County
• Surfing

Also, here's a history of themes from previous conferences:

2015: On the Right Track On the Right Track which comes from this Will Rogers quote "Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there."
2014: Breaking Boundaries --> Making Connections
2013: Explore. Connect. Transform.
2012: MORE: Dynamic Service in a Changing Environment
2011: Digital Realities
2010: Designed to Serve
2009: Think Globally, Serve Locally
2008: Going Digital: A New Page

Release the Unconference!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(sorry I was watching Clash the Titans this weekend).

On-Demand and Ever Changing - our libraries at a new crossroads

Imagination, Dreams and Vision. Bringing The Next Generation of Services to Patrons. (This is kind of a Disney theme)

Touches of genius: how ideas become reality

From Walt Disney quotes:

Dream it - Do It: "If you can dream it, you can do it."
New Paths or Opening Doors: "We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths."

I'm blanking out on anything geographically/culturally themed, at the moment, to California and the West. Working from what Theresa and James have suggested, I do like the idea of connecting the concepts of dreams/ideas/imagination and turning them into reality in our libraries through Keystone Systems.

Dream it - Do It: "If you can dream it, you can do it."
