2018 Presentation Voting Results

Every year, the Code4Lib community votes on proposals that they would like to see included in the program. The top 10 proposals are guaranteed a slot at the conference. For all other slots, the Program Committee curates the remainder of presentations in an effort to ensure diversity and quality using the following criteria:

• Favor first time presenters
• No duplicate presenters
• Diversity of presenters by gender, ethnicity, institution, type of institution
• Diversity of topics/content
• Presentations still generally well voted/received by community

Those who proposed a talk but were not selected are highly encouraged to do a lightning talk during the conference. Lightning talks are first come first serve sign up during the conference.
