Core sponsors AvramCamp, a safe and welcoming space for women and non-binary technology library workers to explore common challenges,, learn strategies for success, and share tools to build confidence,. This half-day online event, inspired by AdaCamp, will take place on Friday, July 29 from 11:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. CST and registration only costs $25.
In past years, AvramCamp has begun by exploring Imposter Syndrome. This year, in the spirit of the unconference model, we’d like to hear from YOU on what you’d like AvramCamp to offer as the first workshop or keynote speaker for the day. If you have ideas on workshop topics or speakers, please complete this Google Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdA6uaCresAl3vHIapxFrzaiTRMraBPpP2pG0AGcmjeD8kZWg/viewform?usp=sf_link . This event will engage the collective expertise of presenters and participants, facilitating enriching conversations and learning opportunities. Everyone, including non-Core members, are encouraged to register and bring their own questions, experiences, and perspectives to the event. Registration opens in June.
