Friday, March 26, 2021. Registration for the online conference is projected
to be $49. More information about Code4lib 2021 is available on this
year’s conference website <https://2021.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. 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.

<https://forms.gle/1wnx8mQP6xpawJhP9>
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 and description only during the voting period.
Speaker names will not be included until the program is posted.
The top 10 proposals are guaranteed a slot of their preferred length at the
conference. The Program Committee will curate the remainder of the program
in an effort to ensure diversity in program content and presenters.
Community votes will weigh heavily in these decisions.
Presenters whose proposals are selected for inclusion in the program will
have conference registration slots held for them. The standard conference
registration fee will apply.
Proposals can be submitted through Monday, December 21, 2020 at 11:59pm
Pacific time. Voting will start Monday, January 4, 2021 and continue
through Friday, January 22, 2021 at 11:59pm Pacific time. The committee
plans to announce selected proposals by Monday, February 8, 2021.
Thank you,
The Code4Lib 2021 Program Committee
