An community-led organization with 35 member institutions, the BitCurator Consortium promotes and supports the application of digital archives tools and practices in libraries, archives, museums, and other cultural heritage organizations. The 2021 BitCurator Users Forum brings together representatives across related information professions engaged in applying digital archives practices or tools in their daily work.

In partnership with the BCC, the BitCuratorEdu Educators’ Summit will bring together digital curation practitioners, peer trainers, and graduate students with library and information science instructors from both academic programs and continuing education efforts to explore the latest topics, research and developments in digital curation education.

The BitCurator Users Forum and the BitCuratorEdu Educators' Summit are open to all. You do not need to be a BCC member or user to attend the event.

As in previous years, the 2021 BitCurator Users Forum program includes workshops. These workshops have limited capacity and you must register separately for these sessions by "purchasing" free workshop tickets. In the event that workshops sell out, you can be placed on the waitlist by filling out this form: Workshop Waitlist.

As we did for BUF 2020, we are happy to offer a variety of registration tiers for this year’s Forum, including a free tier.

• For attendees with funding for professional development: Two registration rates that are slightly lower than our in-person rates for attendees are available
• For attendees wishing to support the BitCurator Consortium community and future Forums: A tier that is the equivalent to the cost of an in-person Forum
• Group rates: New this year, we have introduced group rates! Discounted rates for groups of 3 or more people from the same organization. Individuals from groups will receive a code to be used at checkout, allowing them to register individually. The discount is available to groups from member and non-member organizations. If you wish to register as part of a group, please fill out this form and a team member will provide you with your rate and details on how to register: Group Registration Request.

Revenue generated through ticket sales contributes to Forum operating expenses and the sustainability of the BCC community.
