It’s hard to believe, but CFP season is here!

 

Have a great idea for a session to share at one of our events in Tampa? You’re in luck! We have just issued Calls for Proposals for our conferences happening this October: the DLF Forum (#DLFforum, October 14-16), our Learn@DLF pre-conference  (#learnatdlf, October 13), and NDSA’s Digital Preservation 2019: Critical Junctures (#digipres19, October 16-17).

 

For all events, we welcome submissions from members and nonmembers alike. Students, practitioners, and others from any related field are invited to submit for one conference or all three (though, different proposals for each, please).

The deadline for all three opportunities is Sunday, April 28, at 11:59pm Eastern Time.

Program planning committees for each event will use the community’s input, in combination with results from a concurrent peer review process, to inform its decisions about the conference programs.

Registration is not yet open for Learn@DLF, which takes place on the pre-conference day, October 14! Let us know on the registration form if you’d like more information, and we’ll be sure to email you when it is possible to register.
