Code4Lib 2025 is soliciting proposals for prepared talks!

Code4Lib 2025 is a loosely-structured conference that provides people working at the intersection of libraries/archives/museums/cultural heritage and technology with a chance to share ideas, be inspired, and forge collaborations. For more information about the Code4Lib community, please visit the Code4Lib website.

The conference will be held at Princeton University in Princeton, NJ, from Monday, March 10, 2025 to Thursday, March 13, 2025. Remote attendance via YouTube and remote presentations will be supported. More information on the 2025 conference is coming soon at 2025.code4lib.org.

We encourage all members of the library, archives, museums, cultural heritage organizations, and technology community to submit proposals for prepared talks. Prepared talks should focus on one or more of the following areas:

• Projects you've worked on which incorporate innovative implementation of existing technologies and/or development of new software

• Tools and technologies – How to get the most out of existing tools, standards, and protocols (and ideas on how to make them better)

• Technical issues – Big issues in library technology that are worthy of community attention or development

• Relevant non-technical issues – Concerns of interest to the Code4Lib community which are not strictly technical in nature, e.g. collaboration, diversity, organizational challenges, etc.

We will be soliciting 10, 15, and 20 minute talks. You'll be asked to indicate which talk lengths you would be willing to accommodate for your proposal. To ensure diversity of presenters, no speaker should be included on more than two presentation submissions. 

Submit a presentation proposal for Code4Lib 2025.

A separate call for poster proposals will be offered at a later date. There will also be sign-up opportunities to present 5-minute lightning talks at the event. 

As in past years, the Code4Lib community will vote on proposals that they would like to see included in the program. In order to provide increased opportunities for a diversity of speakers and topics, all presentations will be listed by title, institution, and description only during the voting period. Speaker names will not be included until the program is posted.
