KohaCon22 proposals
As of 2020, conference must be either hybrid with an in-person conference streamed online, or entirely online. For hybrid conferences, the rules for continent rotation apply. Therefore, for 2022, the following continents are eligible:
- Africa
- Americas (North, Central and South)
- Europe
A full online conference will not make its continent ineligible for hosting an in-person or hybrid conference the following years.
Bidding has been extended to 28 February 2022 23:59 UTC.
