We are seeking proposals for exceptional break-out sessions, poster sessions, and contributed papers on copyright issues and best practices. Topics should be related to the conference theme and
address some type of copyright issue or a related topic such as legal issues, open access, scholarly communications, licensing issues, and collaboration. All proposals are due by January 13th, 2016

Registration

Registration will open mid January 2017. Once again, this year's conference registration will be free to all attendees thanks to our generous sponsors.

Please feel free to forward this to anyone who may be interested!

We are looking for volunteers to review program proposals for the conference's break-out sessions. Program proposal review will take place between January 19th - 30th, 2017 and will take approximately 4-6 hours of your time. If you are interested in serving on this committee please contact us.
