April 2 2008 Equinox triumphs in the Twin Cities...now heading west. Get ready Anaheim!

Norcross, GA –April 2, 2008- Equinox Software’s first appearance at the Public Library Association Conference proved to be a huge success. Considered one of the premiere events for the library industry, this year’s conference hosted over 9,000 attendees and 800 exhibitors showing the latest in library services. Equinox Software maintained a strong presence throughout the week with a booth in the exhibition hall, their well attended “Birds of a Feather” reception, and Vice-President of Business Development, Bob Molyneux serving as a panelist for the “Mission Impossible: Build Your Own ILS” session.

The conference allowed the Equinox team the opportunity to provide demonstrations of the Evergreen Software on a one-on-one basis to library professionals from around the country. The response was overwhelmingly enthusiastic.

“I saw faces light up, heard folks gleefully figure out the advantages (benefits) to certain features, saw someone bounce, and even with one person who had a sheet full of questions and drilled through them without much emotion, at the very end she had simply said, ‘I’m very impressed,’" said Jason Etheridge Vice President of Community Support and Advocacy.

However, always looking to the future, Equinox software is now focused on having the same great response from their appearance at the American Library Association Conference in Anaheim California June 27 through July 1. According to Bill Erickson, Vice President of Software Development and Integration, “I walked away [from PLA] feeling like we had really wowed some people and that ALA will be a tremendous opportunity to reach a whole new audience.”

ALA is considered the crown jewel of library conferences with nearly 30,000 library professionals and exhibitors expected to attend.

“ALA is longer and will be more demanding, but we are ready” says Equinox President Brad LaJeunesse “PLA taught us a lot and at ALA we are going to be able to take what we learned to the next level.”
