Conference Highlights
| Newcomers Orientation Session |
| New members and newcomers to the annual conference are invited to attend an orientation session from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Our host, former APH Membership Director Gloria Nussbaum, loves to talk and couldn't resist the invitation to have first crack at sharing all the juicy details about the wonderful conference that awaits us all! She’ll also offer tips on how to get the most out of your membership. Gloria joined APH and started her business, Real to Reel, in 2001 and hasn’t missed a conference since. |

| Personal History From the Clients' Perspectives |
| The conference committee has arranged for a very special panel presentation on Sunday morning from 9:00 to 10:30am. Listen and learn as our special guests (former clients of personal historians) share their views about the personal history process—their likes and dislikes, why they chose to tell their stories, would they do it again, tough decisions about what to share and what not to share, and much more. APH member Teri Friedman, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist, will moderate. For the first time, conference attendees will be able to hear from folks on the receiving end of professional personal histories.

| Print Show & Tell |
| A great chance to meet with members working in print or other non-video media. Everyone is invited to show samples and give a brief presentation of the scope of their project, how the work was produced, and how pricing was calculated.
|
| |
| Video Share |
| Video biographers will show clips of their personal history programs. APH member Bob Breakstone will facilitate so we can view as many clips as possible. Anyone wishing to show his or her work should email Bob by October 14. Please provide a brief description of your 3- or 4-minute DVD presentation. Submissions will be accepted in the order in which they are received. Sign up early—viewing slots are limited.

| Salon Sessions |
| Meeting rooms will be reserved for informal sessions. Any attendee with an idea or interesting question to explore may reserve one of these rooms. Salon session reservation requests, announcements, and sign-up sheets will be available at the APH Store. These informal salon sessions are not planned in advance by APH.

| APH Annual Business Meeting Luncheon |
| The annual meeting of the Association of Personal Historians, Inc., will be held at noon on Friday in the Grand Ballroom. The APH Board of Directors will update members in attendance on the status of the organization and discuss ongoing strategic initiatives and other projects. Members will be invited to discuss ideas and share their perspectives.

| Tales from the Heart |
| A treasured tradition at all APH conferences, this event will conclude our conference on Sunday morning. Following the Passing of the Torch ceremony, personal historians will share their own stories as well as those of their favorite clients. Your soul will return home richer for the experience. Participation is limited due to time constraints, so if you are interested in telling your story, contact Paula Yost, APH Events Manager.
