2014 Code4Lib Midwest Meeting

Please join us July 23-24 in Grand Rapids, Michigan for the Code4Lib Midwest 2014 conference.

This informal conference will feature short lightning talks, longer presentations, workshops, a technology-infused hackfest, and site visits to local technology companies.

We are working out the details: keep an eye on this space!

Presentations or Workshops

Have something cool to share? Tell us about it. If you want someone to teach something to you, put that here as well.

Have something cool to share but you don't want to be in front of the room for more than 5 minutes? Lightning talks are for you. Sign up now or at the conference:

Hackfest

Pitch an idea you can work to solve in 3 hours or so, or join with someone else who has a project. Stuck on something at work? Find a buddy here to help you. Want to make something new and fun? Here's your chance for free labor. We'll have a hackfest idea basket at morning coffee, or you can leave your ideas on the wiki. Of course, you can also just show up with your idea. We're not the boss of you.
