[CODE4LIB] Code4Lib Conference and Organization Query

[Blake Galbreath]

Dear Code4Lib,

I am co-chairing the Online Northwest conference committee, which is going
through a transition year.  Our originating body, the Oregon University
System library board, officially closed this summer.  We’re left with some
questions about how the conference can continue, legally and financially as
well as in terms of its mission.

We’re contacting leaders at other library organizations to learn how their
library conferences are run, hoping to learn more.

Would anyone from Code4Lib be willing to respond to such a query off-list?
I have looked on the website, but could not find the appropriate person to
contact.

Thanks in advance,
Blake Galbreath

Sorry to hear about the demise of Online NW but hopeful it can rise from 
the ashes. My first conference as a professional was Online NW.


In any event there really isn't any one person who can adequately stand 
for Code4lib Conferences. The Conferences are run from the same 
template[0] and the results vary from year to year. 2015 lesson here [1]


I for example can tell you my experience on the planning for 2013 but 
I'm willing to bet people in other years will have variations of the 
same theme to say about getting the conference going.


Cheers
