BACKGROUND:
 
Code4Lib Northwest connects innovators and problem solvers so they can share information about projects, trends and technologies. Most importantly, it seeks to develop a community where people share information and experience and collaborate on work towards common goals. You don't have to be a programmer to attend, but you shouldn't be surprised if a couple presenters toss a little illustrative code on the screens.
 
If you weren't able to attend last year or are unfamiliar with the format, you're in for a treat. Mix it up with some the best library technologists in the PNW! If you want to find out what people are up to, this is the place. 
 
FORMAT:
 
The Code4Lib Northwest meeting is a one day conference in traditional Code4Lib style.  It will feature a series of 20 minute sessions and two periods of lightning talks. By keeping the group size low and presentations short in a highly interactive environment, it's easy for busy people to share their ideas so you get to learn about what really interests you. 
 
PRESENTATIONS:
 
In preparation for Code4Lib PNW, a small number of presentations have been pre-solicited and are available with the draft schedule here:

ATTENDEES AND REGISTRATION:
 
Code4Lib Northwest 2011 event will be capped at 60 participants. Early registration is $60 (after April 29, it becomes $75), and lunch as well as refreshments throughout the day will be provided. The price has risen due to increased costs for putting on the conference.
