==Bryan Alexander==

Bryan Alexander is a futurist, writer, speaker and scholar at the University of Georgetown. I first met Bryan when he worked for NITLE, an organization that encouraged collaboration and use of emerging technologies among liberal arts colleges. He led several workshops on games in education, Web 2.0 and digital scholarship, all well before any could be considered mainstream. Our paths crossed again when I helped to contribute to the New Media Consorium’s Horizon Report where Bryan was a long-time advisor providing insight on how potentially disruptive technologies could influence libraries, museums and higher education.

Recently Bryan has become well known due to the publication of his book Academia Next where he outlined possible future scenarios and their effects on academia. Included is a scenario that considered how a pandemic could change higher ed. His analysis pre-COVID-19 was eerily accurate and earned him interviews with NPR, Reuters, The Wall Street Journal and others.

Bryan is an exceptionally engaging speaker, regularly citing examples from the audience during his talk and integrating questions mid-stream. His “brooding”, as he refers to it, is mixed with a personal optimism that is contagious. While an excellent speaker, he brings much more to the conference. Every time I have seen him, he has attended the conference as an active participant and used his vast personal network to connect people with similar interests and problems. If Bryan is selected as the speaker, the conference as a whole will benefit greatly.

==Cecily Walker==

Cecily Walker is the Assistant Manager for Community Digital Initiatives & eLearning at Vancouver Public Library. Her work centers on user experience, communications, marketing of library services, community digital initiatives, open data, content strategy, transforming the role of librarians and information professionals, and investigating the intersection of social issues, technology, and public librarianship. She is a leading thinker of the intersections on technologies, librarianship and the public good. I believe her work, thoughts and perspective will resonate with Code4Lib attendees.

Gave an outstanding talk at [https://csvconf.com/ csv,conf,v5] about working with South American indigenous communities to map & safeguard their stories using the open source project [https://terrastories.io/ Terrastories] ([https://youtu.be/j-mDnMjDnq4 talk is here]) . It covered issues of pure tech (architecting around limited internet access), participatory design (building a tool that was useful for the people in question to advance causes that matter to them), indigenous knowledge rights, tech as tool for political advocacy -- this talk was everything. He's on the board of https://native-land.ca/, works for https://www.digital-democracy.org/, studied human geography, and contributes code & docs to Terrastories as well as having worked on the ground in the Amazon.

== Regina Gong ==

Regina Gong is the Open Educational Resources (OER) & Student Success Librarian at Michigan State University (MSU) Libraries. Before joining MSU, Regina was the OER Project Manager at Lansing Community College (LCC) where she led a very successful OER initiative. Regina is well-known in the open education community and has done numerous national presentations and webinars on OER. She is a staunch advocate of openness, equity, and access through her involvement on the SPARC Open Education Advisory Group(link is external) (2019-2022), SPARC Steering Committee(link is external), and Executive Council member of the Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources (CCCOER)(link is external) where she served as VP for professional development. She is also in the MI Statewide OER Steering Committee(link is external); 2019 Open Education Conference Program Committee(link is external), and an OER Research Group Fellow(link is external). Regina obtained her Masters in Library and Information Science (MLIS) at Wayne State University and is currently pursuing Ph.D. in the Higher, Adult, and Lifelong Education (HALE) Program at Michigan State University (MSU). I believe that Regina Gong will bring an important viewpoint related to open education and access and the role of libraries/museums of all types to consider.

== Tatiana Mac ==

Tatiana Mac (she/they) is an independent American engineer. She is an open source maintainer who created and is building Self-Defined, a modern dictionary about us; and Devs of Colour, a database that will prioritise finding undiscovered Black/brown talent through a thoughtful search algorithm.
As a consultant, she works directly with organisations to build clear and coherent products and design systems.
An international keynote speaker, she speaks on the intersection of technology and ethics, examining how our products both fit and define our social and environmental settings. You can view her recorded talks on YouTube.
She believes the trifecta of accessibility, performance, and inclusion can work symbiotically to improve our social landscape digitally and physically. When ethically-minded, she thinks technologists can dismantle exclusionary systems in favour of community-focused, inclusive ones.

== Chuck Pell ==

"A confessed 'congenital geek,' Chuck is inventor, artist, scientist and expressive raconteur. As a practitioner of Design Coup d'œil (the habit of seeing overarching structural issues at a glance), Chuck seeks the essential core of any system, whether science, art, or technology. He is most at home in novel situations, figuring things out on the fly. These tendencies have led Chuck to garner experience in surgical robotics, functional morphology, biomechanics, fluid dynamics, miniature robotics, autonomous underwater vehicles, ballistics, maritime communications, entertainment effects, teaching, design (graphic, exhibit and industrial) and filmmaking. Never at rest, he’s had 100 shows of his paintings and sculpture, with dozens of papers published in biology, engineering and patents issued or pending. Having raised millions for research and now on his third startup, Chuck has the nagging suspicion he’s become a serial entrepreneur." (excerpted from [https://www.tedmed.com/speakers/show?id=6472 Chuck's TEDMED bio])

Chuck Pell is a sculptor, roboticist, Emmy-winning television host, and force of nature. His philosophies towards creativity and invention include: uncover hidden assumptions, pursue surprise, and "fail early and often, when it's cheap." His passionate approach to real-world problem solving has a lot to offer the world of GLAM-tech; combined with an avowed love of technology, libraries, and knowledge generally, his perspective will bring a wealth of insight and creativity to the Code4Lib community. Chuck is 1/4 of the way to an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_who_have_won_Academy,_Emmy,_Grammy,_and_Tony_Awards EGOT] and was formerly the consulting scientist for an asteroid mining company.

Hosting a conference is incredibly complex, and it cannot be done without the help of the entire community. If you are interested in being an awesome person and applying your skills to a particular part of the Code4Lib 2021 conference, create an account on this wiki and sign-up for one or more of the groups below (please provide a contact). Each committee must have a Primary Contact (chair), Secondary Contact (co-chair), and Documentarian (secretary).

When adding your name, please indicate 'v' if you are a veteran on the committee so that we ensure committees are not made up entirely of newbies.

As a practitioner of Design Coup d'œil (the habit of seeing overarching structural issues at a glance), Chuck seeks the essential core of any system, whether science, art, or technology. He is most at home in novel situations, figuring things out on the fly. These tendencies have led Chuck to garner experience in surgical robotics, functional morphology, biomechanics, fluid dynamics, miniature robotics, autonomous underwater vehicles, ballistics, maritime communications, entertainment effects, teaching, design (graphic, exhibit and industrial) and filmmaking. Never at rest, he’s had 100 shows of his paintings and sculpture, with dozens of papers published in biology, engineering and patents issued or pending. Having raised millions for research and now on his third startup, Chuck has the nagging suspicion he’s become a serial entrepreneur." (excerpted from [https://www.tedmed.com/speakers/show?id=6472 Chuck's TEDMED bio])

Chuck Pell is a sculptor, roboticist, Emmy-winning television host, and force of nature. His philosophies towards creativity and invention include: uncover hidden assumptions, pursue surprise, and "fail early and often, when it's cheap." His passionate approach to real-world problem solving has a lot to offer the world of GLAM-tech; combined with an avowed love of technology, libraries, and knowledge generally, he is sure to bring a wealth of insight and creativity to the Code4Lib community. Chuck is 1/4 of the way to an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_who_have_won_Academy,_Emmy,_Grammy,_and_Tony_Awards EGOT] and is the consulting scientist for an asteroid mining company.

== Kate Deibel ==
Kate Deibel, PhD, is one of the leading advocates for accessibility in the Code4Lib community and libraries in general. Aside from the fun and informative talks and workshops she has given at Code4Lib, she is also known for her activity on Slack and the mailing list where she ardently calls out issues of diversity and inclusion. By challenging the assumptions that we make about accessibility and inclusion and our patrons' experiences with library technology, Kate's work pushes us to be more empathetic, realistic, and creative when we design library systems.

Kate Deibel is currently the Inclusion & Accessibility Librarian at Syracuse University. She earned her PhD in computer science and engineering at the University of Washington in 2011 with a multidisciplinary study of the social and technological factors that hinder adoption of reading technologies among adults with dyslexia, and while working as a web applications specialist at the University of Washington Libraries she focused on ensuring that technologies are effective tools for both library patrons and staff.
