*Friday June 21, 2019, 9:00 am – 4:00 pm*
Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Room 150A

Join other women and non-binary technology library workers in a safe and
welcoming space to explore common challenges faced, learn strategies for
dealing with them, and discuss specific tools to build your confidence
at AvramCamp, LITA’s AdaCamp-inspired <https://adacamp.org/> event.

Our goal is to create a support network and increase participation from
underrepresented groups in open technology and culture to further the
library community’s goals of ensuring equitable access to information for
everyone.
