Preconference Workshops

Newcomer Dinner

It is a Code4Lib tradition to welcome those who are new to the conference by organizing dinner groups on the night before the general conference begins. Sign-up is organized by the Social Activities Committee on the wiki, and we try to mix a few newcomers with a few veterans who can offer an informal introduction to the conference. Great for making new friends!

The reception includes an open bar and free access to the museum exhibits from 5:45PM through 7:45PM. We will also provide a selection of vegan, vegetarian, and omnivore friendly appetizers featuring: Pennsylvania flatbreads, a locally-sourced variety of sausages, and a Mediterranean spread that includes three different varieties of hummus and other plates.

Birds-of-a-Feather Hangouts?

The general conference is over, but if you have a bunch of inspired nerds with common interests in one spot, why not organize a little hackfest or meetup? You are on your own to organize at this point, but feel free to contact the Local Planning Committee if you would like assistance securing space.
