The Forum is a community event and it does not generate a profit for the DLF. It is funded by sponsorship, membership dues, and registration fees. 2014 was the largest Forum yet with over 400 attendees. We expect our first forum outside of the United States to be just as exciting. Please contact Louisa Kwasigroch if you are interested in sponsoring the 2015 DLF Forum, October 26–28 in Vancouver, BC.
