The Code4Lib 2025 Keynote Committee is happy to open this year's invited
speaker election.

All nominees have been contacted and the 8 included in this election are
potentially available to speak. The top two available vote recipients will
be invited to be our keynote speakers this year; in the case of a tie,
we’ll prefer in-person speakers over remote, and then the speaker closest
to Princeton. Voting will end in 10 days on December 13.

When rating nominees, please consider whether they are likely to be an
excellent contributor in each of the following areas:

1) **Appropriateness**. Is this speaker likely to convey information that
is useful to many members of our community?

2) **Uniqueness**. Is this speaker likely to cover themes that may not
commonly appear in the rest of the program?

3) **Contribution to diversity**. Will this person bring something rare,
notable, or unique to our community, through unusual experience or
background?

In order to limit the vote to one per individual, an email address is
required. Access the form here: https://forms.gle/sZu15v2VbzV7sokv7
