I for one completely agree with Matt’s point here. Gregory Murray Director of Digital Initiatives Wright Library Princeton Theological Seminary

Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification ] I have to express some general frustration here.... I think it is very poor practice for ANY conference [stares at DLF] to open registration before a final schedule of events / speakers / sessions is distributed. Many of us have limited professional development funding and need to base our choices on CONTENT. I recognize there are those who, quite legitimately, always attend particular conferences. Unfortunately, not all of us have that luxury. -Matt ---- *Matt Adair* Archivist for Digital Imaging and Infrastructure Bentley Historical Library 1150 Beal Avenue Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109-2113 734-647-3537 On Fri, Mar 1, 2024 at 11:03 AM Ken Varnum <var...@umich.edu> wrote: > If you are interested in attending Code4Lib 2024, *we encourage you to get > on the waitlist as soon as possible*, as it is growing daily. > > We are planning to do some work next week to confirm the total spots we > have available after moving any accepted speakers and poster presenters > from the waitlist.
