'''Save the dates!''' * Thursday, 16 May and Friday, 17 May* [https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/872117846957/?aff=oddtdtcreator Registration is now open] This year's C4LBC will be held in Vancouver, BC, and hosted by VCC at the [https://www.vcc.ca/about/college-information/contact-us/downtown-campus/ Downtown Campus]. === 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 [http://bit.ly/coc4lib 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.
