<h2>Format</h2>
196+
<p>Code4Lib is an annual 3.5-day conference, with most sessions being
197+
single-track. Below is a summary of the session types, with information
198+
about how they are selected:</p>
199+
<ul>
200+
<li><em>Keynotes</em>: 45-minute invited talks. Nominated speakers
201+
are voted on by the community, and the Keynote Committee confirms
202+
the highest-rated speakers based on availability. There are
203+
typically two keynote talks, starting the first and third days of
204+
the main conference.</li>
205+
<li><em>Talks</em>: 10-20 minutes talks. Proposed talks are voted
206+
on by the community, and the Program Committee selects from among
207+
the most highly-rated talks to build a diverse and balanced program.
208+
There are typically about 7 blocks of talks, including a total of
209+
about 30 talks.</li>
210+
<li><em>Lightning Talks</em>: 5-minute informal (slides-optional)
211+
talks, attendees sign up in-person (first come, first served). There
212+
are typically three blocks, each including 10 Lightning Talks.
213+
Lightning Talks are reserved for attendees who are not otherwise
214+
presenting, particularly first-time attendees.</li>
215+
<li><em>Breakouts</em>: 45-minute parallel-track discussion
216+
sessions. Attendees propose sessions in-person, and attendees choose
217+
which session to attend (typically two blocks of Breakouts, with
218+
3-10 sessions proposed in each block.</li>
219+
<li><em>Posters</em>: 30-60 minute session with 10-20 posters
220+
presented by attendees. Proposed posters are selected by the Program
221+
Committee.</li>
222+
<li><em>Workshops</em>: 3- or 6-hour workshops, typically held the
223+
first or last day of the conference, as an optional add-on with a
224+
nominal extra registration fee. There are typically 6-10 workshops
225+
held each year.</li>
