BACKGROUND:
Code4Lib Northwest connects innovators and problem solvers so they can share information about projects, trends and technologies. Most importantly, it seeks to develop a community where people share information and experience and collaborate on work towards common goals. You don't have to be a programmer to attend, but you shouldn't be surprised if a couple presenters toss a little illustrative code on the screens.
If you weren't able to attend last year or are unfamiliar with the format, you're in for a treat. Mix it up with some the best library technologists in the PNW! If you want to find out what people are up to, this is the place.
FORMAT:
The Code4Lib Northwest meeting is a one day conference in traditional Code4Lib style. It will feature a series of 20 minute sessions and two periods of lightning talks. By keeping the group size low and presentations short in a highly interactive environment, it's easy for busy people to share their ideas so you get to learn about what really interests you.
PRESENTATIONS:
In preparation for Code4Lib PNW, a small number of presentations have been pre-solicited and are available with the draft schedule here:
