Hi Brian - Thanks for the heads-up on the registration and all the effort you and the planning committee folks are putting into the conference! Is there any ballpark number for the conference hotel at this point (for the paperwork for approval)? Thanks!

Registration for the pre-conference day on Monday is $60. The committee recognizes that this fee breaks the $200 barrier for the first time. These fees represent the lowest possible registration price that ensures that revenue, including sponsorships received to date, will cover the cost of producing the conference at the level that Code4Lib attendees are accustomed to. We would like to thank the institutions and community members who have contributed money towards the conference and the diversity scholarships; these contributions have helped offset the cost of the event for attendees. In a related note, members of the Code4Lib Fiscal Continuity Interest Group will be launching discussions before and during the 2017 conference regarding the long-term fiscal viability of the event, and will welcome feedback regarding approaches for keeping the conference as financially accessible for attendees as possible. Registration will open on December 14, 12pm Eastern/9am Pacific. More details will follow, but we hope this information helps with your budget and travel plans. -- Brian Rogers Code4Lib 2017, Local Planning Committee
