tribulations of leading workplace culture change, to deciphering and visualizing data, there's a little something for everyone. Check out the program page for much more!</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<b>keynote speaker</b> this year is <b>Thomas Padilla</b>, Visiting Digital Research Services Librarian at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. He publishes, presents, and teaches widely on digital scholarship, digital collections, Humanities data, data curation,
and data information literacy. In his talk, he will advance the argument that conditions of uncertainty and a speculative orientation to collections constitutes a disposition that empowers libraries and the communities they serve. As the poet a. maxwell reminds
us, uncertainty is not the same as not knowing – uncertainty indicates the presence of alternatives. This talk is a call to embrace those alternatives.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
