CHICAGO—Core is pleased to once again sponsor AvramCamp, an AdaCamp-inspired event that is named in honor of library innovator Henriette D. Avram. This half-day, online event allows women and non-binary technology workers a safe space to explore the common challenges they face, learn strategies for dealing with these obstacles, and discuss specific tools to build confidence. This event will engage the collective expertise of presenters and participants, facilitating enriching conversations and learning opportunities. Everyone, including non-Core members, is encouraged to register and bring their own questions, experiences, and perspectives to the event.
In past years, AvramCamp began by exploring Imposter Syndrome. This year, in the spirit of the unconference model, we’d like to hear from participants on what they’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.
Registration is $25 for both ALA and non-ALA members. Registration is limited to 60 people, so save your seat soon!
