We are now accepting pre-conference proposals for the 2019 Code4Lib conference in San José, California. These pre-conferences can either be a 1-day (six hour) or a 1/2-day session (three hour) and will occur on Tuesday, February 19, 2019.
The pre-conference sessions give folks a space to share and build knowledge, as well as to teach attendees new skills relevant to library technology. Pre-conference sessions can range from workshops to working sessions. We welcome a variety of ideas and encourage submissions from first-time presenters and members of groups not well-represented within the Code4Lib community, including but not limited to: women, people of color, people with disabilities, LGBT+. To propose a session, please go to https://goo.gl/forms/DXyX8OGKBtHKkXzv1 . If you're looking for inspiration, there are many great examples of pre-conferences from last year. To view these, visit http://2018.code4lib.org/workshops/ We are taking proposals until October 11, 2018, 5 PM PST / 8 PM EST. After a period of public voting on workshops, we hope to confirm sessions with the facilitators shortly after. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email us - by responding to this email or by contacting Kathleen Haley ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>) Best, Kathleen Haley On behalf of the Code4Lib 2019 Pre-conference Committee P.S.
