When Katina Strauch invited some colleagues to meet at South Carolina's College of Charleston for a discussion of issues relating to collection development and acquisitions in 1980, about 20 people responded. From those small beginnings, the Charleston Conference continued to grow and now routinely draws about 1,000 attendees.
