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 2018 DLF Forum in Las Vegas, Nevada.
DLF would like to thank our partners at the Visual Resources Association, the Museum Computer Network and the American Institute for Conservation of Historic & Artistic Works for participating in this program.
Students, faculty, and staff from DLF member institutions are eligible to apply for upcoming opportunities! A Cross-Pollinator Registration Award is still available for the annual meeting of the American Institute for Conservation (AIC) which will take place in Connecticut in May.
