The Code4Lib 2024 Keynote Committee is happy to open this year’s invited speaker election.
All nominees have been contacted and the 7 included in this election are potentially available to speak. The top two available vote recipients will be invited to be our keynote speakers this year; in the case of a tie, the speaker closer to Ann Arbor will be invited. Voting will end in 16 days on December 20. When rating nominees, please consider whether they are likely to be an excellent contributor in each of the following areas: 1) *Appropriateness*. Is this speaker likely to convey information that is useful to many members of our community? 2) *Uniqueness*. Is this speaker likely to cover themes that may not commonly appear in the rest of the program? 3) *Contribution to diversity*. Will this person bring something rare, notable, or unique to our community, through unusual experience or background? In order to limit the vote to one per individual, an email address is required.
