Save the date for the 2020 LD4 Conference: May 13th and 14th, 2020, in College Station,
Texas, USA, at the Texas A&M Hotel and Conference
Center<https://www.texasamhotelcc.com/> at Texas A&M University. The Linked Data
for Production initiative<http://www.ld4p.org>, supported by the Andrew W. Mellon
Foundation, is hosting this conference to bring together anyone passionate about the
adoption of linked data in libraries. There were quite a few sessions on Wikidata during
the 2019 conference, so we expect it will also be well-represented in 2020.
We’re seeking volunteers with a wide variety of skills and backgrounds to join the Program
Committee to plan every aspect of the meeting from the overarching themes and goals to the
content and logistical details. Our contemporary venue accommodates up to 200 people, with
flexibility for multiple simultaneous activities and proximity to local cultural
attractions. What kind of community meeting space would you like to create? How can this
community gathering best advance the adoption of linked data in all kinds of libraries?
Join the Program Committee and shape an event you are excited to participate in!
