                <h2>Format</h2>
                <p>Code4Lib is an annual 3.5-day conference, with most sessions being
                single-track. Below is a summary of the session types, with information
                about how they are selected:</p>
                <ul>
                    <li><em>Keynotes</em>: 45-minute invited talks. Nominated speakers
                    are voted on by the community, and the Keynote Committee confirms
                    the highest-rated speakers based on availability. There are
                    typically two keynote talks, starting the first and third days of
                    the main conference.</li>
                    <li><em>Talks</em>: 10-20 minutes talks. Proposed talks are voted
                    on by the community, and the Program Committee selects from among
                    the most highly-rated talks to build a diverse and balanced program.
                    There are typically about 7 blocks of talks, including a total of
                    about 30 talks.</li>
                    <li><em>Lightning Talks</em>: 5-minute informal (slides-optional)
                    talks, attendees sign up in-person (first come, first served). There
                    are typically three blocks, each including 10 Lightning Talks.
                    Lightning Talks are reserved for attendees who are not otherwise
                    presenting, particularly first-time attendees.</li>
                    <li><em>Breakouts</em>: 45-minute parallel-track discussion
                    sessions. Attendees propose sessions in-person, and attendees choose
                    which session to attend (typically two blocks of Breakouts, with
                    3-10 sessions proposed in each block.</li>
                    <li><em>Posters</em>: 30-60 minute session with 10-20 posters
                    presented by attendees. Proposed posters are selected by the Program
                    Committee.</li>
                    <li><em>Workshops</em>: 3- or 6-hour workshops, typically held the
                    first or last day of the conference. There are typically 6-10
                    workshops held each year. Workshops are an optional add-on to the
                    main conference, or can be attended separately (space-permitting).
