Code4Lib 2013 ideas
Schedule
- Keep Super Bowl Sunday free
- Avoid snow and bitter cold!
Food
- If you do the preconferences in the main conference space (vs. in spread-out off-site spots), many people will expect breakfast or at least regular coffee/tea/soft-drink breaks throughout the day (so have them?)
- Is it possible to get a hot breakfast with/instead of continental?
- Consider Vegetarians
- Decent lunch menu - not taco or spaghetti :-)
- Automated Testing
(Note: some attendees really like tacos and/or spaghetti, and think these are excellent lunch choices. YMMV.)
Registration
Use EventBrite--it's worth the admin money for the ease of use, and the reports that can be generated
