Intro

Why should code4lib come to Denver? There's 300 days of sunshine, a thriving arts and culture scene, a walkable downtown, a wide array of breweries, and the majestic Rocky Mountains is right in its backyard. Denver’s charm is simply a mile above the rest. The hosting committee is looking forward to welcoming the Code4Lib community to exchange ideas and experiences in our beautiful city and have fun at the same time.
