You only have until midnight tonight, Pacific Time, to submit a prepared
talk proposal to the 2019 Code4Lib Conference. Get your proposal in today!
Code4Lib 2019 is soliciting proposals for prepared talks!
Code4Lib 2019 is a loosely-structured conference that provides people
working at the intersection of libraries/archives/museums/cultural
heritage and technology with a chance to share ideas, be inspired, and
forge collaborations. For more information about the Code4Lib
community, please visit https://code4lib.org/about/.
The conference will be held at the DoubleTree by Hilton in San Jose,
CA, from February 19, 2019 to February 22, 2019. More information
about Code4lib 2019 is available on this year’s conference
websitehttps://2019.code4lib.org.
We encourage all members of the library, archives, museums, cultural
heritage organizations, and technology community to submit a proposal
for a prepared talk. Prepared talks should focus on one or more of the
following areas:
- Projects you've worked on which incorporate innovative
implementation of existing technologies and/or development of new
software
- Tools and technologies – How to get the most out of existing
tools, standards, and protocols (and ideas on how to make them better)
- Technical issues – Big issues in library technology that are
worthy of community attention or development
- Relevant non-technical issues – Concerns of interest to the
Code4Lib community which are not strictly technical in nature, e.g.
collaboration, diversity, organizational challenges, etc.
In order to provide increased opportunities for a diversity of
speakers and topics, all presentations will be listed by title and
description only during the voting period. Speaker names will not be
included until the program is posted. We will also be soliciting 10,
15, and 20 minute talks.
You'll be asked to indicate which talk lengths you would be willing to
accommodate for your proposal. A separate call for poster proposals
will be offered at a later date. There will also be sign up
opportunities to present 5 minute lightning talks at the event.

As in past years, the Code4Lib community will vote on proposals that
they would like to see included in the program. The top 10 proposals
are guaranteed a slot of their preferred length at the conference. The
Program Committee will curate the remainder of the program in an
effort to ensure diversity in program content and presenters.
Community votes will, of course, still weigh heavily in these
decisions.
Presenters whose proposals are selected for inclusion in the program
will have conference registration slots held for them (up to 2
speakers per talk). The standard conference registration fee will
apply.
Proposals can be submitted through Thursday, October 4, 2018 at
midnight Pacific time. Voting will start on Tuesday, October 9, 2018
and continue through Thursday, October 25, 2018 at midnight Pacific
time. The committee plans to announce selected proposals on Monday,
October 29, 2018.
Thank you,
The Code4Lib 2019 Program Committee
