Registration is now open for the 2022 CRKN Conference: Strength in Community! Join us from October 3-7 (virtual thematic sessions) and from November 1-2 (members-only workshops in Montreal) for exciting and thought-provoking conversations about the strength of community and the future of digital scholarship in Canada. We are also holding a pre-conference virtual Intro to CRKN session on September 28 for those who want to learn more about our organization and mandate in advance of the conversations at the conference.
There are two separate registration pages: one for the virtual thematic sessions and one for the in-person members-only workshops. Those who wish to attend both virtual and in-person events MUST register for both.
