*How can you contribute to ELAG!*

*ELAG* is Europe’s premier conference on the application of information
technology in libraries and documentation centers. For over forty years,
the ELAG (European Library Automation Group) Conference has provided
library and IT professionals with the opportunity to discuss new
technologies, to review on-going developments, and to exchange best
practices.

*The next ELAG conference will take place in Riga, Latvia from 09 to 12
June 2020.*

You can contribute to the ELAG conference in several ways by submitting:

   - A *presentation* proposal:  They are the core of the ELAG programme.
   Presentations allow you to present your work in 25 minutes in a plenary
   session. After which there are 5 minutes for questions.


   - A *workshop* proposal: Workshops are run throughout the main ELAG
   programme and are used for group discussions on a selected topic. The
   workshop leader acts as the moderator of these discussions. Workshops are
   split into 2 sessions on 2 days of 1.5 hours each. On the last day the
   participants of the workshop need to present a short 10-15 minute summary
   about the results of the workshop during the plenary session.


   - A *bootcamp* proposal: Bootcamp start on the day before the
   conference. They typically provide hands-on training on software, tools
   relevant to the community. Bootcamps can be short (2-3 hours) or take a
   whole day (6 hours).

Some ideas and previous topics for workshops and bootcamps: DevOps &
infrastructure bootcamp, Fail4Lib (history of fails in your software
projects), deep learning in libraries, a deep dive into tools like *Ansible*
, *Apache Nifi,* and *Catmandu*; or other!
