Now that we've had time to recover from that great conference in Hamilton, we would like to let you know about some of the exciting opportunities at CHLA/ABSC 2013 in Saskatoon!

Our theme for the 37th Annual Conference is **Inspiration, Coopération, Innovation**. Join us May 22 to 25, 2013 to become **inspired**. find new opportunities for **cooperation**, and share in the **innovations** of the CHLA/ABSC community.

We have three fantastic keynote speakers:

* On May 23, prepare to be **inspired** by Brian Goldman, a physician, medical journalist, CBC radio host, author, and presenter of the TEDxToronto 2011 talk "Doctors make mistakes. Can we talk about that?"

* The following day, in **cooperation** with the University of Saskatchewan Library, the conference will host the Dean's Annual Research Lecture. Dr. Anita Palepu is the featured speaker for this public lecture which showcases current library research and emerging areas of professional interest. Dr. Palepu is a Professor of Medicine at UBC and founding editor of the open access journal 'Open Medicine'.

* The **innovative** André Picard, best-selling author and award-winning health journalist, who was named Canada's first "Public Health Hero" by the Canadian Public Health Association and a "Champion of Mental Health" by the Canadian Alliance on Mental Illness and Mental Health, will be our closing speaker.

Join us in celebrating 25 years of **cooperation** within the Saskatchewan health library community - the Saskatchewan

Health Libraries Association turns 25 in 2013! And, yes, there might even be cake!

You will also have the opportunity to see a piece of Canadian medical **innovation** history. The Conference Banquet will be held at the Western Development Museum – the new home of the original “Cancer Bomb” (Cobalt-60 Beam Therapy Unit). The after-party will be at the Sheraton’s Top of the Inn, with spectacular views of the city and easy access to downtown clubs, bars and restaurants – for a different kind of **inspiration**.

Keep up to date with all of the excitement at http://www.chla-absc.ca/2013/. You can also find us on the CHLA facebook group and twitter account, @chlaabsc, or the hashtag #chlaabsc13.

We're looking forward to seeing you May 22-25, 2013 in Saskatoon!
