We are pleased to announce that the Digital Public Library of America
(DPLA) is seeking proposals for *DPLAfest 2019*
<https://dplafest2019.dp.la/>, a gathering that will explore how libraries,
archives, museums, and other cultural organizations across the country
leverage technology to serve, inform, and empower communities. We invite
proposals that showcase projects, ideas, and solutions designed to help the
field meet the technological, social, and civic demands of the 21st century
and that highlight the critical role of libraries—and the DPLA network—in
shaping the future of access to digital knowledge.
In line with the DPLAfest 2019 theme of *Future Shapers, Culture Makers*,
we invite proposals for presentations, roundtable discussions, and
lightning talks related to:
- Assessment and impact
- Collaboration with non-traditional partners
- Collections as data
- Community Voices
