The 2021 DLF Forum and affiliated events were held online, November 1-10, 2021. Most presentations and panels for the year’s events were pre-recorded videos. Community conversations took place by chat in our comprehensive conference platform or via a few live discussion sessions.
This year, Learn@DLF, our affiliated conference workshop series, took place as live video workshops. We also offered short tutorials about specific tools, techniques, workflows, or concepts. A handful were made available at the beginning of each Learn@DLF conference day.
