Preliminary Program is Live!
The Forum and BitCuratorEdu Educators' Summit program is now available on the BitCurator Consortium (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://bitcuratorconsortium.org/__;!!DZ3fjg!rW7V21Pe2MhLH97bZwp0yZt9haBWxb5LPZWETUGa9pQaO14KfFu60FdTAKVYlMbGowcOqcI$ ) website. The Forum will take place from Tuesday, October 12, to Thursday, October 14.

Sessions will be non-concurrent (single-stream) and will run live starting at 10:00 AM CDT. Each day will include a variety of opportunities for engagement including workshops, lightning talks, and themed sessions on Remote Workflows, Iteration and Scalability, BitCurator, Access and Discoverability, and Tools & Demos Showcase. We also have a few special sessions this year! We'll do a rerun of our popular "Great Question!" session where attendees can ask anonymous questions in an open forum, and two Birds Of A Feather sessions for BIPOC attendees and Students and New Professionals.
