A Lightning Talk is a fast-paced, 5-minute talk on the topic of your choosing. You don’t need to make slides, but if you do, you only have time for a handful. If you're nervous about speaking in front of a crowd, don't worry! It'll be over quickly. It’s best to keep it focused, and try not to pack a 20-minute presentation into 5 minutes.

Code4Lib Midwest 2013

Please join us Sunday, October 13, and Monday, October 14, in Iowa City for the Code4Lib Midwest 2013 conference! This informal conference will feature short lightning talks, longer presentations, workshops, and breakout discussion sessions covering technology in libraries, archives and museums in the Midwest. Each Code4Lib conference is different; take a look through the main Code4Lib Wiki to learn more about this volunteer-driven collective.

Location

Code4Lib MidWest meeting will be hosted by University of Iowa Libraries.

  • When - Sunday, October 13th - Monday, October 14th
  • Where - John Pappajohn Business Building, University of Iowa, Room W401. The elevator to the room is on the West wing of the building, on the West side of the atrium (to the left of the giant portrait of Henry Tippie).
  • Registration Cost - Free!
  • Planning Committee - Emily Shaw (emily-f-shaw@uiowa.edu), Shawn Averkamp (shawn-averkamp@uiowa.edu), Becky Yoose(YOOSEBEC@grinnell.edu), Julia Bauder (BAUDERJ@grinnell.edu), Wendy Robertson (wendy-robertson@uiowa.edu), Matthew Butler (matthew-butler@uiowa.edu)

Logistics

  • MAP of Iowa City Restaurants, Attractions, and Conference-Related Locations
    • We've plotted our favorites, but we probably missed some of yours. Contribute to our editable google map!
  • Lodging
    • We have blocked off rooms for 10/13 & 10/14 at the Sheraton Iowa City as the official hotel. The group name is "Code4Lib". You can either call and let them know you're part of this group, or book online through this event registration page. These rooms are available at a discounted rate ($99/night, wifi included), and are held on a first come first served basis. Reservations must be booked by September 14, 2013 or the rooms will be released back to the public. It's a pretty nice hotel, and a pleasant, easy walk through downtown Iowa City to the room where we'll be meeting. The Sheraton has an attached parking garage; ask about parking when you call to reserve a room.
  • Transportation
    • Bus - Greyhound, Megabus (routes to Iowa City from Chicago, Omaha, Des Moines)
    • Air - Eastern Iowa Airport(CID, in Cedar Rapids) is the closest airport (22 miles); Cedar Rapids Airport Shuttle can get you to and from the airport (reserve in advance). Quad City International Airport (MLI) is 66 miles away, but flights are often cheaper; unfortunately, a shuttle or taxi to/from there might cost you almost as much as your flight.
    • Driving - Iowa City is off of I-80, which every Midwesterner should know how to get to :) There are several public parking structures around campus, in easy walking distance to both the Sheraton (conference hotel) and Pappajohn Business Building (meeting room).

Lightning Talks

A Lightning Talk is a fast-paced, 5-minute talk on the topic of your choosing. You don’t need to make slides, but if you do, you only have time for a handful. If you're nervous about speaking in front of a crowd, don't worry! It'll be over quickly. It’s best to keep it focused, and try not to pack a 20-minute presentation into 5 minutes.

Topics might include:

  • Let me tell you about my favorite piece of tech and why I love it
  • I want to do cool project X. Anyone want to help me?
  • I did this successful project. Here’s what I learned, and how you might benefit.
  • I did this unsuccessful project. Here’s what I learned, and how you might benefit.
  • I have a bone to pick about this thing.
  • I wish we would do more/less of X.
  • Here’s my prediction for the future of X.
