2018 Code4Lib Midwest Meeting
Call for proposals
To help us make sure we have a room for you to present in, we encourage you to submit a proposal by the end of March, 2018. Unless we get a tremendous amount of proposals we do not anticipate rejecting submissions.
Registration
Registration for this conference is free and does not require joining a national organization. Due to space limits, registration will be limited to 50 participants. Similar to the national Code4lib, we have a meal sign-up page for lunch on January 7th, which allows us to keep registration costs low for you.
