Ninth Annual Code4Lib BC Unconference 2024
Save the dates!
- Thursday, 16 May and Friday, 17 May
- Registration is now open
This year's C4LBC will be held in Vancouver, BC, and hosted by VCC at the Downtown Campus, Room 420
What's it all about?
It's a 2-day unconference - a participant-driven meeting bringing together a diverse and open community of library developers and non-developers engaging in effective, collaborative problem-solving through technology regardless of their department or background.
This year’s event will feature lightning talks and breakout sessions. Lightning talks are brief, 10-minute presentations on topics related to library technologies. Breakout sessions are an opportunity to bring participants together in an ad hoc fashion for a short, yet sustained period of problem solving, software development and fun.
- What's included: a room, coffee/tea, wifi, power
- What to bring: your ideas and enthusiasm.
- Mastodon Hashtag: `#c4lbc`
- Code of Conduct: As a Code4Lib event, we adhere to the Code4Lib Code of Conduct, which seeks to provide a welcoming, harassment-free environment.
Lightning Talk and Breakout Session Ideas
If there’s a neat project you've been working on, a cool new tool you want to show off, or an interesting development in the world of library technology that you want to discuss, Code4Lib BC is a great opportunity to share that with the community.
Submit a lightning talk or breakout session idea
