Core Event: 2022 Online AvramCamp

¾«¶«´«Ã½

CHICAGO—Core is pleased to once again sponsor AvramCamp, an event that is named in honor of library innovator . 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 .

Registration is $25 for both ¾«¶«´«Ã½and non-¾«¶«´«Ã½members. Registration is limited to 60 people, so save your seat soon!

“AvramCamp was well worth attending and one of the most interactive and engaging preconferences I ever attended.” – Joslyn, 2018 participant

“Thank you for this event! I’m still processing it, but my heart (and my head) is full.” – Amanda, 2018 participant
