I look forward to welcoming you to the Art Libraries Society of North America conference being held in Houston in April 2005. Arts information professionals are continually adapting to technological changes, but the importance of the exhibitors to the vitality and character of our annual conference has remained constant.

ARLIS/NA last met in Texas in 1997, but this will be the very first Houston meeting. Houston and the stellar conference program will attract a large and diverse group of art librarians and visual resource curators from North America and abroad. The state-of-the-art exhibit hall, in the recently built Hilton-Americas Hotel in downtown Houston, offers an invaluable opportunity for you to meet and talk with these decision makers. The conference planners have reserved blocks of time when program sessions do not conflict with the exhibits. In addition, an exhibition and silent auction of works by members will be scheduled in the exhibit hall, as an added draw into the exhibit area.

I hope that you will join us in Houston next April and take advantage of this opportunity. The goods and services you provide are integral to our profession and ARLIS/NA is committed to providing you with the best possible environment in which to showcase them. In addition, we expect that the fortuitous scheduling of the Texas Library Association’s meeting in Austin (April 5-8) will present added opportunities for exhibitors. If you have questions about the exhibits please contact Susan Rawlyk (srawlyk@shaw.ca) or me (jhenri@mail.utexas.edu). We are eager to welcome you to Houston and to ARLIS/NA’s 33rd annual conference.
