Code4Lib BC 2025 invites proposals for lightning talks and breakout sessions at its two-day un-conference, October 16-17 at Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver. From the submission form:
Lightning talks are 10-15 minute presentations. Breakout sessions are longer (1.5 to 3-hour) group discussions or workshops.
Closer to the date of the unconference, the organizing committee will slot the submitted talks and breakouts (with a speaker/facilitator listed) into the schedule. If you are only attending on a specific day or need any other accommodations, please let us know.
Room will be equipped with standard smart classroom equipment such as projector, microphone, etc. Ensure laptops support HDMI or bring slides on USB.
Presenters must register for the event via EventBrite.
Submissions will be accepted on a rolling basis up through Friday, October 3.
Additionally, two bursaries (up to $400 USD) will be awarded to support travel costs. From the application:
Priority will be given to residents of BC (outside of the Lower Mainland) and Yukon. The bursaries will be awarded based on a random draw. While the bursaries are intended to support out-of-town attendees with travel and accommodation, funds can also be used on childcare or anything that helps you attend.
Applications are due by October 3, 2025, and if successful will be notified by October 10, 2025.
