Women in technology face numerous challenges in their day-to-day work. If
you would like to join other women in the field to discuss topics related
to those challenges, AdaCamp is for you. This one-day LITA preconference at
ALA Annual in Chicago will allow female-identifying individuals employed in
various technological industries an opportunity to network with others in
the field and to collectively examine common barriers faced.

This day will follow the unconference model allowing attendees the power to
choose topics most relevant to their work and their lives. Participants
will have the opportunity to propose lightning rounds and session proposals
on a variety of topics such as salary negotiation, creating inclusive
job postings, and getting involved in open source software development.
Please come prepared with ideas for discussion topics! The opening session,
led by Margaret Heller, will address imposter syndrome
<https://adainitiative.org/continue-our-work/impostor-syndrome-training/>, the
feeling that you aren’t actually qualified for the work you are doing and
will be discovered as a fraud. Evviva Weinraub will be our facilitator for
the day. We look forward to having you join us for this important event!
