VALA Events 2021: Tech Camp Plus

We all learnt a lot from Tech Camp 2021, but even after 49 events over 12 days there’s still so much more to discover about the evolving place of tech in libraries. Tech Camp Plus picks up where Tech Camp left off, continuing fascinating conversations long after we’ve rolled up our mouse pads and stowed away our headsets. We’ve invited speakers back to expand on their original content and, importantly, to answer all those questions that occurred to you after their original presentation.

Sessions are run as live webinars, running for 45 minutes with ample time allowed for live Q&A. Same speaker, same topic, more detail.
