*The BitCurator Consortium Program Committee is excited to announce that we
are now accepting proposals for remote conference presentations, and that
the submission deadline has been extended to May 8, 2020. *
We think that providing the remote presentation option will increase
participation and lead to a fuller, more engaging program. Perhaps most
importantly, making participation in the Forum open to people with limited
or no travel funds will increase equity. Unfortunately, we expect reduced
travel budgets to be a reality for many potential participants this year,
but it is always an issue for current students, new graduates, and those at
smaller and/or under-resourced institutions. Planning for this from the
outset will leave us prepared in the event that we have to shift the Forum
to an entirely virtual format. As in previous years, presentations will be
streamed online free of cost.
The Program Committee intends to share a decision about whether to proceed
in-person or online no later than August 4th.
The BitCurator Users Forum is open to all. You do not need to be a BCC
member or user to submit a proposal and/or attend the event.
