Registration
Registration for the DPLA plenary meeting is required. We’ve had enormous interest and have reached capacity for the event, so we unfortunately won’t be able to accommodate walk-in registrations, and those who have not received registration confirmation from us will be turned away. We encourage participation via our livestream, Twitter, Facebook, and other social tools (hashtag: #dpla), and we will be posting video of the conference online shortly after it takes place.

The DPLA plenary meeting will begin at 9 AM. Check-in and breakfast are available at 8 AM; we ask that you arrive no later than 8:30 AM to gain entrance to the building, check in, and pick up materials.
