Desirable Qualities of a Hosting Site
- Small college or university town (why? "amenities", my friend, amenities)
- Reasonably near a major airport (we are prepared to interpret this liberally if the other qualifications are strong
- Good evening venues (e.g., interesting and/or good restaurants and bars)
- A host or hosts willing to manage local arrangements (many colleges and universities are skilled at facilitating conferences)
- An auditorium or similar space suitable for 150-200 persons, plus three or more "breakout" rooms for 30-50.
- Wireless network available to attendees free or sponsored by the conference
- Some distance away from the last conference site, all things being equal (to spread the travel pain)
Applying to Host
Send your proposal to the Code4Lib Conference Planning List. Please try to be as complete as possible regarding the situation you offer the conference (keeping criteria such as those above in mind). Proposals received by August 15, approximately 18 months prior to the proposed conference, will have the first chance at consideration.
