Code4Lib 2018 Social Activities
The Social Activities Group is working on several events and social opportunities for after conference hours. We will be adding more events as they come along. Watch this page!
Also, if you find a cool event to go to, and want to share the wealth with others, feel free to add the event to the page. :)
Planned Events
Newcomer Dinner, Tuesday, February 13th
First time at code4lib? Join fellow c4l newbies and veterans for an evening of food, socializing, and stimulating discussions about demonstrations of the many uses of bacon XML EZProxy LibGuides alternatives spreadsheets documentation.
Code4Lib veterans, you're invited too. Join us in welcoming the newcomers!
Plans
- When: Tuesday, February 13th
- Suggested Time: 6 PM (ish) or whenever you can get your group together
- Mastermind (if you have any questions): Becky Yoose
Guidelines:
- Max of 6 per group
- Please, no waitlisting
- Some restaurants can hold multiple groups of six. These are labeled with the “Can Seat Multiple Groups of Six” in the restaurant listing.
- ID yourselves so we can get a good mix of new people and veterans in each group
- New folks - n
- c4l vets - v
- One leader needed for each location (declare yourself! - Vets are highly encouraged to lead the group)
- Leader duties
- Make reservations if required; otherwise make sure that the restaurant can handle a group of 6 rowdy library tech type folks
- Booking reservations as soon as possible is highly recommended due to two major holidays converging on Tuesday evening (Shrove Tuesday aka Mardi Gras and pre-Valentine’s Day events).
- Herd folks from hotel to restaurant (know where you're going!)
- Make reservations if required; otherwise make sure that the restaurant can handle a group of 6 rowdy library tech type folks
- Leader duties
- See a restaurant that's not listed? Feel free to add one, but please make sure that it is open that Tuesday evening.
NB! Many of this year's Newcomer Dinner options are not close to the convention hotel. You will most likely be relying on public transportation, taxis, or ride-sharing services to get to your destination. Please plan accordingly.
Restaurant list, sign ups, and transportation information now available!
