This BoF is for those who want to talk about research on innovation and contribution friction analysis, analyze what’s happening behind the scenes of some issues and reviews, why and when they are getting blocked. 

What steps we can take as a community to improve those situations?   Where AI can be very helpful and where it can be very dangerous? 

Stanford Web Leaders is a community of practice for website and web team managers across campus to collaborate and share best practices. This community and our monthly meetings date back to the early 2000s and have been fully virtual since 2020. 

Join our roundtable to learn more about this group and to share your thoughts on what trends and challenges are facing our organizations, and brainstorm how we can support each other with a thriving and open community of digital professionals.

Join us for a quick welcome session and get an overview of WebCamp.

Web development in higher-education relies heavily on its relationship with open-source software development. Contributions back to open source allow the projects to expand, extend, and mature, and you can help give back without ever having to code a bit or byte. This session will cover two major areas of non-code contributions perfect for higher-education web professionals to lift from: writing and editing documentation, and event and initiative volunteering and leadership.

Changes to Facebook’s pixel-based event tracking will be affecting every site in the stanford.edu system. Bjorn Carey, Senior Director for Digital Strategy at University Communications, will outline what is changing and how UComm can advise you on navigating these changes.
