Code4Lib 2017 Lessons Learned

Venue planning and negotiation

  • Coming soon.

Organizing Volunteers

  • Coming soon.

Program & Keynotes

  • The keynote voting period was WAY too short. A week does not give people enough time to read up and do research on nominees they might want to vote for. In past years voting was up for much longer. I understand that the organizers are short on time, but any deviation from the norm should be emphasized and there should at least be a reminder announcement as we approach the deadline. I am somewhat involved with the website committee, so I imagine others that are less involved probably were also disappointed.

Pre-conferences

  • Coming soon.

Sponsorships

  • Coming soon.

Registration/Attendance

Ideas!

  • We need a communications committee, perhaps with a website subcommittee and an emails/social-media subcommittee. Draft email templates for each announcement (and reminder emails for each), specify stakeholders, and suggested send dates/windows. No more communication fails.
