The Virtual Reference Desk conference, which had its final conference in 2005 (I was there, and I got the speaker portfolio to prove it), has been re-initiated under a new name, Reference Renaissance. The first RR conference is slated for August 4-5, 2008 in Colorado. The call for participation is open through early April, so start thinking about what you could offer to this group.
VRD was a worthwhile conference and I learned a lot. I highly recommend it for reference staff of all types, even if you’re not doing online reference now. Because trust me, at some point soon you will be.

Two years later, a new link to this post. When you don’t delete old material others can use your information, unlike what happened to the VRD web site.
