It’s that time of year again! This week the Accordance team will be converging on the cities of Milwaukee and Chicago for the annual meetings of the Evangelical Theological Society (ETS) and Society of Biblical Literature (SBL). While I’ll be missing ETS for the first time in many years, I’ll head to Chicago later this week to teach an Accordance training seminar and to help out at SBL.

If you’ll be at those conferences or in those cities, there are several opportunities to meet Accordance staff and to learn from Accordance experts. Here’s a rundown of where we’ll be and what we’ll be doing:

ETS Conference (Nov. 14-16): Look for us in Exhibit Hall B of the Frontier Airlines Center in Milwaukee. We’ll be in booth #238.

Free Training Seminar in Chicago (Nov. 16): On Friday, while the rest of the team is breaking down the ETS booth and driving down to Chicago, I’ll be teaching a seminar at Moody Bible Institute. If you’re in the Chicago area and would like to attend, we’ll be in room 319 of the Sweeting Building from 9 am to 5 pm. As with all our seminars, you’re welcome to come and go as your schedule permits. To register for the seminar, e-mail us at seminars(at)accordancebible(dot)com. I hope to see you there.

SBL Conference (Nov. 17-20): You’ll find us in Exhibit Hall F2 of the McCormick Place Convention Center’s West Building. We’ll be in booth #539. As always, our booth is sure to be both large and extremely active.

Accordance Reception (Nov. 18): Want to come socialize with us in a more relaxed setting? We’ll be hosting a reception in Suite 1879 of the Chicago Hilton from 7:30 to 9:30 pm on Sunday, November 18. Eager young students are finding that this is a great opportunity to network with top scholars—and just think how impressed they’ll be that you’re already using Accordance!

So there you have it. We have a busy week ahead of us, but it’s always fun to put faces to names and help people get the most out of Accordance. If you can join us at any of these events, we look forward to seeing you!
