*Why Code4Lib?*
*Excellent keynote speakers!* We're excited to welcome Safiya Noble, author
of *Algorithms of Oppression: How Search Engines Reinforce Racism*, and
Tara Robertson, Diversity & Inclusion Strategic Partner for Mozilla, to
speak with us.
*Tons of great content!* We have twenty-two workshops
<https://2019.code4lib.org/workshops/> to choose from this year, handlings
topics from accessibility to digital preservation to linked data, all
conveniently located at the conference hotel. Conference talks
<https://2019.code4lib.org/talks/> vary from discussions of ethics, machine
learning, the GDPR, open access indexes, and more!
*Great community events!* From the Newcomer's Dinner where new attendees
meet grizzled veterans, to Game Night, to a reception at The Tech Museum of
Innovation, Code4Lib has a lot going on outside the main conference. We
strive to be as fun and welcoming of a conference as possible, with a
community-authored Code of Conduct <https://2019.code4lib.org/conduct/>.
*Details*
Looking to save money at the conference? The conference hotel block at the
