Digital Library Federation
The DLF Forum is a dynamic gathering place for GLAM professionals to share ideas, sustain critical work, and spark innovation. It connects library, archives, and museum practitioners, as well as other knowledge workers, through intentional community building and collaborative exchange.
DLF programs stretch across the full year, but the Forum is our signature event: a place to conduct community business, exchange professional practice, and help assess DLF programs with direct community input.
A Meeting Place
Working groups and community members gather to conduct business and present work in progress.
A Marketplace
Practitioners trade practical knowledge, field-tested ideas, and professional experience.
A Congress
The wider community reviews DLF programs and helps assess what should happen next.
The Forum welcomes librarians, developers, technologists, curators, project managers, administrators, and more.
Participants come from academic, nonprofit, and government organizations around the world.
Every participant is expected to uphold the DLF Code of Conduct and help maintain a harassment-free environment.
