DLF is excited to announce that we’re sending community member Dr. Joan E. Beaudoin to the Museum Computer Network Annual Conference in San Diego, CA this November with support from our GLAM Cross-Pollinator Registration Awards. The conference brings together over 600 cultural heritage professionals from museums, historic sites and visitor attractions in North America and globally.

The Cross-Pollinator Awards & Upcoming Opportunities
Since 2015 (and initially with support from the Kress Foundation), the GLAM Cross-Pollinator Registration Awards have aimed to foster communication and conversation among the GLAM communities. Each year, a member from each of our partner organizations receives free registration to attend the DLF Forum and, in exchange, a DLF member affiliate attends each partner conference. Learn more about those who attended the 2019 DLF Forum in Tampa, Florida and keep an eye out for their fellow reflections on the DLF blog in the coming weeks.
DLF would like to thank our partners at the Museum Computer Network, the Visual Resources Association, the Art Libraries Society of North America, and the American Institute for Conservation for participating in this program.
Students, faculty, and staff from DLF member institutions are eligible to apply for upcoming opportunities! Registration awards are still available for the upcoming annual meetings of VRA, ARLIS/NA, and AIC in 2019. Apply now!
