Sponsorship Opportunities
About the Forum
The DLF Forum brings together a wide variety of players in the digital library, museum, and archive fields, from project managers and developers to administrators and service providers. It is an open meeting that welcomes members and others with relevant interests, and provides a strategic platform for organizations to reach a targeted audience. The Forum is collegial, with an emphasis on inclusion and an expectation of trust. We plan to host over 700 attendees at the 2019 conference in Tampa, Florida, October 14-16.
DLF has over 190 member institutions — 90+ new in the past several years alone. Take advantage of the rapid growth of this active community and meet digital library, museum, and archive professionals where they come together—the DLF Forum.
Broaden your audience! Several affiliated events are co-located with the Forum including the NDSA’s Digital Preservation 2019, workshops, meetups, and more.
Be part of a conversation that extends beyond the three-day Forum and the pre- and post-conference events, via DLF social media, and the livestream.
About NDSA & Digital Preservation 2019
The National Digital Stewardship Alliance, hosted by the Digital Library Federation, is a consortium of over 200 partnering organizations, including universities, professional associations, businesses, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations, all committed to the long-term preservation of digital information. Members work together to preserve access to our national digital heritage.
Digital Preservation is the major meeting and conference of the NDSA—open to members and non-members alike—focusing on tools, techniques, theories, and methodologies for digital stewardship and preservation, data curation, the content lifecycle, and related issues.
