Code4Lib 2013 ideas

Schedule

  1. Keep Super Bowl Sunday free
  2. Avoid snow and bitter cold!

Food

  1. If you do the preconferences in the main conference space (vs. in spread-out off-site spots), many people will expect breakfast or at least regular coffee/tea/soft-drink breaks throughout the day (so have them?)
  2. Is it possible to get a hot breakfast with/instead of continental?
  3. Consider Vegetarians
  4. Decent lunch menu - not taco or spaghetti :-)
  5. Automated Testing

(Note: some attendees really like tacos and/or spaghetti, and think these are excellent lunch choices. YMMV.)

Registration

Use EventBrite--it's worth the admin money for the ease of use, and the reports that can be generated


Suggestions from dchuds talk

  • less complacency from overall committee--less burden on local org committee
  • Advisory committee
  • Programming committee
  • do work in the open
  • build on experience from past conferences

Other ideas

  • more regional c4l
