SUMMARY:An Introduction to the Digital Humanities Climate Coalition Toolkit
DESCRIPTION:On March 18 at 1:00 PM EDT\, eLabs will host a webinar that invites researchers to explore questions around the environmental impact of digital humanities work. The session draws on the approaches and resources developed by the Digital Humanities Climate Coalition (DHCC)\, a collaborative and cross-institutional initiative focused on understanding and minimizing the environmental impact of digital humanities research. Among their resources is a toolkit designed to help individuals and organizations make informed digital choices and support the development of more sustainable research projects. \n\n\n\nLed by Christopher Ohge\, eLabs advisory board member and a member of the DHCC\, this webinar will provide guidance on how to implement the toolkit in research projects. The session will open with an introduction of the DHCC\, providing background and context on the activities the coalition has supported in universities\, libraries\, and archives. It will then touch upon several areas in the toolkit\, including: \n\n\n\n\nMinimal Computing: explores how we can reduce the carbon footprint of our digital practices. \n\n\n\nMaximal Computing: examines computationally intensive digital tools such as Machine Learning\, and offers perspectives on when these might be justifiable. \n\n\n\nGrant Writing: includes recommendations on designing (or redesigning) research projects\, including Data Management Plans.\n\n\n\nWorking Practices: offers guidance on reducing energy consumption in your day-to-day working life\, including communication and shared working\, travel\, and publishing and preserving data. \n\n\n\nAdvocating within your Institution: offers tips on how to go beyond individual or project-level sustainability. \n\n\n\n\nThe toolkit is designed to encourage researchers to adopt climate-responsible research practices. It aims to empower them to make climate-friendly technological decisions\, and to support researchers who lack the practical knowledge about how to devise greener initiatives. As such\, the toolkit (and this webinar) aims to raise awareness and provide practical tips on planning and management of one’s research infrastructure and data. Staff members\, students and fellows will learn how to approach and improve their research design and implementation\, as well as digital work more broadly. \n\n\n\nPlease note that this event will be recorded. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Pricing \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter(s)\n\n\n\nChristopher Ohge is Senior Lecturer in Digital Approaches to Literature at the School of Advanced Study\, University of London. He has also served as a core faculty member for eLaboratories\, working on the Fundamentals of Editing courses (formerly known as the Institute for Editing Historical Documents\, or “Camp Edit”). Since 2018 he has also taught editing and book history courses on the London Rare Books School. He serves as the Associate Director of the Melville Electronic Library and an Associate Editor for Melville’s Marginalia Online. Before moving to London\, he served as an associate editor at the Mark Twain Papers & Project at the University of California\, Berkeley. He has held postdoctoral fellowships and taught at the University of Maine\, Boston University\, and the Massachusetts College of Art and Design.

SUMMARY:An Introduction to Open and Social Knowledge Production: An Intensive Workshop
DESCRIPTION:From crowd-sourced transcriptions and Wikipedia edit-a-thons to folksonomies or user-created keywords for browsing content\, digital projects are frequently making use of the digital environment to invite new publics to participate in the creation of scholarship. At the very least\, these initiatives result in encouraging public engagement with humanities research. But in some cases—particularly when a project’s methods and workflows are designed not only to enable but also facilitate such interactions—these activities can cultivate meaningful and substantive collaborations with the public. \n\n\n\nInitiatives like these\, which rethink how scholarship can be created and shared\, are known by many names\, including open scholarship and social knowledge production. They can range from providing open access to resources and inviting the re-use and remediation of project data\, to sharing in the work of project decision-making or preparing content. But how does this actually work in practice and how do you make it happen? \n\n\n\nThis fall\, eLaboratories—in partnership with the Electronic Textual Cultures Lab at the University of Victoria—will host a month-long workshop focused on introducing and exploring the definition\, contexts\, methodologies\, and affordances of open and social knowledge production. During the month of September\, cohort members will meet virtually once weekly on Fridays from 1:00–2:00 PM (Eastern Time) for a discussion on related readings and topics\, with conversations to be led by Ray Siemens\, Graham Jensen\, Alyssa Arbuckle\, and Matt Huculak. Interested individuals may view the workshop schedule and syllabus below. \n\n\n\nThis workshop is ideal for anyone interested in designing a project or event with the goals of open or social knowledge production\, or in exploring the topic as a field for research. Registration for the workshop is free\, but is limited to 20 individuals. By signing up for this workshop\, you agree to attend all four sessions (Sept. 5\, 12\, 19\, and 26 | 1:00–2:00 PM ET). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Price\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSchedule & Syllabus\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA Canadian HSS Commons account is required to view the video resources associated with this workshop.

SUMMARY:Research in Progress: New Projects Committed to Recontextualizing Visual Objects
DESCRIPTION:On August 12\, 2025\, eLaboratories hosted ACLS fellows Kale Serrato Doyen and Letícia Fernanda Carvalho Silva for an engaging event that explores their ongoing work in illuminating the communities and lives of the people depicted in historical photographs and paintings. \n\n\n\nDoyen presented on her ongoing dissertation research\, entitled “Mapping the Teenie Harris Archive: Photography\, Community\, and Pittsburgh’s Black Built Environment.” This project seeks to recover histories of displaced Black cultural sites through the digital mapping of architectural photographs by Charles “Teenie” Harris\, a twentieth-century photojournalist for the Black newspaper\, The Pittsburgh Courier. Doyen’s presentation focused on sites she has already identified and their resonances with present-day conditions in Pittsburgh through the process of mapping. \n\n\n\nFollowing\, Silva introduced her research in illuminating the histories of the enslaved women portrayed in Tarsila do Amaral’s seminal painting “A Negra.” She described her imminent plans to conduct field work in Brazil\, where she aims to connect with the descendants of the women depicted and recover oral histories about their lives. \n\n\n\nAs these presentations focus on research in progress\, this event invites you to think about the challenges and possibilities of recovery as a critical methodology. This webinar is ideal for students and scholars interested in developing recovery projects and in connecting with others doing similar work. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Presenters\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKale Serrato Doyen is a Ph.D. student in the History of Art and Architecture at the University of Pittsburgh. Her research focuses on how Black and Latinx artists navigate and respond to the racialization of the built environment. She has completed curatorial internships and fellowships at the National Museum of Mexican Art\, Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery\, and the Art Institute of Chicago; and was a recipient of the 2024-25 Mellon/ACLS Dissertation Innovation Fellowship. \n\n\n\nLetícia Fernanda Silva is an Afro-Brazilian doctoral candidate in the W.E.B. Du Bois Department of African American Studies at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. Her research focuses on cultures and literature of the Black diaspora\, with a focus on the historicization of Black Women’s bodies.

SUMMARY:Enhancing Access and Discovery: Voices of the Eastern Shore as a Model for Local\, Metadata-Driven Digital Projects
DESCRIPTION:On August 13\, 2025\, eLaboratories hosted Voices of the Eastern Shore for a discussion on the value of a multi-disciplinary approach to editing. \n\n\n\nLed by Dreanna Belden—Director of External Partnerships at the University of North Texas Libraries and a graduate of the Institute for the Editing of Historical Documents (the precursor to eLabs)—Voices of the Eastern Shore brings together the best practices of library science and editing to bring to life the Somerset County Historical Trust’s long-held goal of publishing the letters of Elizabeth Upshur Teackle. \n\n\n\nDuring her presentation\, Belden introduces the project and its origins\, sharing insight into how a historical society like the Somerset County Historical Trust made an editing project like this possible. She also discusses the project’s vision for collaborations with other institutions who wish to bring their documents into conversation with Voices of the Eastern Shore. Belden’s presentation concludes with a demonstration of how her multi-disciplinary training informed the project’s editorial approach and impacts the accessibility\, discoverability\, and sustainability of the project and its materials. \n\n\n\nWith insight into alternative paths of entry into editing and discussion about best practices\, this event is ideal for archivists\, librarians\, community historians\, and anyone else interested in beginning their own documentary editing project. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDreanna Belden\, Director of External Partnerships\, has been with UNT Libraries since 2003. Her interests involve working with museums\, libraries\, and archives to place historic materials online as partners of the Portal to Texas History. She’s spoken nationally and internationally about her research\, including at Library of Congress. She is Co-Director of the project Texas History for Teachers\, and Co-Director of Voices of the Eastern Shore. She’s Vice-President of The Dallas Way and is a Past-President of the Texas Association of Museums. Dreanna has formerly served on Boards for the Texas House Oral History Project\, PBS’s Texas Our Texas programming initiative\, the Collaborative for Children\, and for KERA/KXT\, Public Media for North Texas. She’s a successful fundraiser and has reviewed grants for the National Endowment for the Humanities\, National Historical Publications and Records Commission\, and Humanities Texas.

SUMMARY:The Stories Behind Editing & Recovery Work (Storyteller Series\, Part 1)
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered how you get into editing and recovery work? Or maybe you’ve wondered what’s the most interesting thing a practitioner has seen? Through our Storyteller Series\, we aim to gather editors and recovery practitioners to share personal stories and reflect on the meaning of their work. \n\n\n\nIn this first installment of the series\, originally recording on April 22\, 2025\, eLabs Advisory Board Member Diane Matsuda and eLabs Managing Director Katie Blizzard talked to Cathy Moran Hajo\, Diana Marsh\, Ken Price\, Jennifer Stertzer\, Gabriela Baeza Ventura\, and Carolina Villarroel about the paths that led them to their work in editing and recovery. Over the course of the conversation\, we learn about the common motivations that inspire their work and encounter some of the specific documents and collections that excite them. \n\n\n\nAs we all enter into this work through different means\, we hope you find this conversation an opportunity to reflect positively on that journey and the passions we share in common. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Facilitators\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKatie Blizzard is the Managing Director of eLaboratories\, an online learning community hosted by the Center for Digital Editing (CDE) at the University of Virginia.

SUMMARY:Conceptualizing and Creating a Digital Edition
DESCRIPTION:Are you looking for a workshop environment to begin planning your edition? Join eLaboratories at the Digital Humanities Summer Institute for the course “Conceptualizing and Creating a Digital Edition.” \n\n\n\nThis course will explore all aspects of conceptualizing\, planning for\, and creating a digital edition. It provides a basic introduction to the various types of digital editions\, the practice of editing in the digital age\, and a survey of the many digital tools available to serve project goals. Approaching a digital edition means taking time to think about how end-users will want to work with a particular edition. Beginning with the research and analytical needs of end-users in mind\, editors are better able to develop effective editorial strategies that will result in a dynamic\, useful\, and usable\, digital edition. In this course\, participants will engage in hands-on learning and group discussions related to project conceptualization\, editorial policies and processes\, and the selection and use of digital tools that can serve the needs of researchers and other end-users. Participants will bring a few sample materials they are working with. We will use these in a class project—creating a digital edition over the course of the week using skills learned in each session. The goal is for participants to return to their home institutions ready and able to build upon\, enhance\, and transform these initial ideas into robust digital editions. \n\n\n\nThis course is jointly sponsored by eLaboratories and the Digital Humanities Summer Institute\, and will be taught collaboratively by Katie Blizzard and Dr. Lorena Gauthereau. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Location \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Pricing \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Presenters\n\n\n\nKatie Blizzard (kal3aw@virginia.edu) is the Managing Director of eLaboratories and a senior research editor at the Center for Digital Editing\, where she supports the editorial practices of community and partner projects.

SUMMARY:Exploring the Black Women’s Organizing Archive (BWOA): A Digital Project Informed by the Community Imperatives of Black Women’s Organizing
DESCRIPTION:In 2020\, archivists\, educators\, and students across the U.S. and Canada gathered remotely to transcribe a newly digitized collection of papers of Anna Julia Cooper—a visionary Black leader\, writer\, civil rights activist\, and educator. This event\, which was formed out of a collaboration between Douglass Day\, and the existing partnership between the Anna Julia Cooper Digital Project and the Moorland-Springarn Research Center at Howard University\, precipitated the launch of the Black Women’s Organizing Archive (BWOA). \n\n\n\nThrough digitization and transcription projects\, community collectives\, scholarly resource building\, and pedagogical\, critical and creative initiatives\, BWOA aims to move Black women unapologetically to the forefront of late nineteenth century social movements and organizing efforts. The project’s commitment to such engaging activities is intentional: “Informed by the ethical practices and community imperatives of the early pioneers of Black women’s organizing\, BWOA reimagines Black women’s archives as spaces for community engagement\, participatory storytelling\, and transformative public history.” Today\, these principles shape their work in recovering and discussing the scattered texts of Anna Julia Cooper\, Mary Ann Shadd Cary\, Mary Church Terrell\, and Frances Ellen Watkins Harper. \n\n\n\nOn Tuesday\, April 29 at 12:00 PM EDT\, Shirley Moody-Turner (Penn State University)\, Sabrina Evans (Howard University)\, and Takina Walker (Penn State University) will discuss the origins\, values\, and partnerships that have shaped the Black Women’s Organizing Archive. They will also present the resources available on the site for researchers and educators looking to engage with these materials. This presentation may be of interest to those seeking to create a digital project\, archive or edition that is community centered. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Price\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Presenters\n\n\n\nDr. Shirley Moody-Turner is associate professor and award-winning teacher of English and African American Studies at Penn State University. She is the founding director of the Black Women’s Organizing Archive (BWOA)\, a digital project which seeks to bring together the scattered archives of nineteenth- and early-twentieth century Black women’s organizing. She is also the founding director of the Anna Julia Cooper Digital Project\, a cross-institutional partnership that worked with the Moorland-Spingarn Research Center on the digitization of the Anna Julia Cooper Papers and with Douglass Day 2020 to produce a community-based\, crowd-sourced transcription of the collection. She is author and editor of several published and forthcoming books including the Penguin Portable Anna Julia Cooper and an interpretive biography on the educational vision and activism of Anna Julia Cooper. \n\n\n\nDr. Sabrina Evans is an assistant professor of English at Howard University and a JT Mellon Satellite Partner with the Center for Black Digital Research at Penn State University. She is co-project coordinator for the Black Women’s Organizing Archive\, a digital project which seeks to bring together the scattered archives of nineteenth- and early-twentieth century Black women’s organizing. She was also the project coordinator for Douglass Day 2020: Transcribe Cooper and was an inaugural DigBlk scholar at the Center for Black Digital Research. Her current work focuses on the “constant agitation” of nineteenth- and early-twentieth century Black women within their intellectual-activist work\, with a primary focus on Anna Julia Cooper\, Mary Church Terrell\, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper\, and Ida B. Wells-Barnett. \n\n\n\nTakina Walker is a dual-title PhD student in English and African American and Diaspora Studies at Penn State University. As both a scholar and creative writer\, her work centers on Black women’s literature with a special focus on 20th-century African American romance. She explores how race\, gender\, and sexuality intersect in romantic narratives\, drawing connections within the Black literary imagination and its transformative possibilities.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: What’s at Stake in Community Engagement? A Conversation About Goals and Ethics with Editors from the Charles W. Chesnutt Archive
DESCRIPTION:What are the implications of making community engagement both an editorial method and key goal? How can those of us building editions and archives best go about community engagement? What are some of the perils and possibilities? \n\n\n\nThese are some of the questions that preoccupy us at the Charles W. Chesnutt Archive—an open access archive hosted at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Our current work is focused on the incoming and outgoing correspondence of African American author\, lawyer\, and civil rights activist Charles Waddell Chesnutt. For Chesnutt\, race and place were crucial and complex. He was a mixed-race person\, visibly white enough to pass\, who referred to himself once as a “voluntary Negro.” He lived his formative years in North Carolina and often wrote about the state\, but he was born and lived most of his life in Cleveland\, and he wrote northern stories\, too. We are currently working on letters housed in Cleveland (at the Western Reserve Historical Society)\, and we wish to engage the heritage community in Cleveland as our work proceeds. Our statement of purpose and principles calls on us to: \n\n\n\n\nserve the communities from which the materials emerge\n\n\n\nexpand the role of descendant communities and African American cultural experts across fields in the development and use of the Chesnutt Archive\n\n\n\nhire African American student researchers and create space for the students not only to contribute to the editorial presentation of these materials\, but also to explore the resonances of Chesnutt’s work today by way of their poetry or art\n\n\n\ncultivate an interdisciplinary and diverse advisory board—from scholars and librarians to fair housing policy leaders—who can help imagine what new audiences and engagements the archive might inspire and make possible.\n\n\n\n\nOn Feb. 26 at 3:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM CT\, project co-editor Ken Price and editorial assistant Bianca Swift will explore the project’s ongoing work to cultivate new audiences and engagements. Their presentation will focus on current efforts to generate collaborations within the Cleveland community in which Chesnutt wrote\, sharing their insights into developing meaningful partnerships and examining the challenges faced by such collaborations. Following their brief presentation\, they will invite audience discussion about what ethical editing and archive creation looks like in project planning and practice. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Price\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Author Reading of Interrogation Records: A Docu-Poetry Collection about the Indonesian State-Sanctioned Massacre of 1965
DESCRIPTION:Between 1965 and 1966\, the Indonesian Army systematically murdered and jailed hundreds of thousands of civilians for their alleged association with the Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI). Those targeted as suspected PKI members included ethnic Chinese\, Javanese Abangan Muslims\, atheists\, members of Gerwani or the “Indonesian Women’s Movement\,” and many\, many others. To this day\, the Indonesian government has denied its role in instigating the state-sanctioned massacre\, contending instead that the mass killings were in response to a civilian-led uprising. \n\n\n\nJeddie Sophronius\, through their collection of docu-poetry Interrogation Records\, aims to “[break] the silence and collective amnesia around the Indonesian mass killings of 1965.” Combining scant records and testimonies with poetry\, Sophronius’ Interrogation Records makes palpable the immediate and multi-generational traumas of the massacre and its erasure. \n\n\n\nDuring a recorded event on Nov. 6\, 2024\, Jeddie Sophronius read and commented on a selection of poems from Interrogation Records. Sophronius also discussed their work in preparing Interrogation Records as well as its role as one part in an unofficial trilogy of Sophronius’ poetry collections. \n\n\n\nContent Warning: Please be advised that the selected readings from this collection will reference acts of state-sanctioned violence and historical erasure\, perspectives of racism or dehumanization enacted upon the victims of this violence\, and feelings of cultural dispossession. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Author\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJeddie Sophronius is the author of the poetry collections Happy Poems & Other Lies (Codhill Press\, 2024)\, Interrogation Records (Gaudy Boy\, 2024)\, Love & Sambal (The Word Works\, 2024)\, and the chapbook Blood·Letting (Quarterly West\, 2023).

SUMMARY:Dear Mr. Meredith: Transcribing and Analyzing the Correspondence Received by James Meredith During His Integration of the University of Mississippi
DESCRIPTION:James Meredith first applied for admission to the University of Mississippi in January of 1961. At that time\, the University had never admitted a Black student despite the 1954 United States Supreme Court ruling in Brown vs. Board of Education\, which established racial segregation in public schools as unconstitutional. Meredith’s application was initially denied\, but\, with legal assistance from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Legal Defense Fund\, the United States Court of Appeals ruled that Meredith should be admitted. That decision was again confirmed by the United States Supreme Court on September 10\, 1962\, following an appeal brought forward by the state of Mississippi. \n\n\n\nThe long and arduous process of Meredith’s admission into the University of Mississippi captured the world’s attention. As news traveled\, James Meredith received hundreds of letters from all over the world. Many of these letters are housed in the University of Mississippi’s Archives and Special Collections and are digitally accessible online\, but a new project based at the University of Mississippi aims to make these materials more discoverable. \n\n\n\nAs their first step\, the project digitally organized the collection by coding each letter as “sympathetic” or “unsympathetic.” The team then mapped the various locations and sentiments of the 1000+ individuals who wrote to Meredith\, creating a geospatial snapshot of the public’s attitudes toward segregation during a turbulent period in American history. Now\, the team aims to transcribe the letters with help from their local community. \n\n\n\nIn a recording of their October 17\, 2024 presentation\, project leaders Adam Clemons and Abbie Norris-Davidson as they discuss their methodology in mapping Meredith’s correspondence and their plans for future work on this project. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Pricing \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Presenters\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdam Clemons is an Assistant Professor of Scholar Support and Data Services specializing in Digital Humanities. In this role\, he collaborates with the Scholar Support and Data Services team\, other library departments\, campus partners\, faculty\, students\, and staff to promote\, create\, and support the use of digital scholarship tools and methodologies in interdisciplinary scholarly research. He also serves as the library’s subject specialists for many academic units on campus including History\, African American Studies\, and International Studies. His research interests include geospatial humanities\, citation analysis\, data literacy\, and the business of professional wrestling. He earned his graduate degrees in Library Science and African Studies from Indiana University. Before moving to Mississippi\, he served as the Librarian for African and African American Studies at the University of California\, Berkeley. \n\n\n\nAbbie Norris-Davidson is the Digital Initiatives Librarian and Assistant Professor at the University of Mississippi. Her primary role is overseeing eGrove\, the University of Mississippi’s institutional repository\, which collects\, preserves\, and disseminates the intellectual and creative output of the University. Abbie earned her MSIS from The University of Texas at Austin\, where she focused on archival science and digital humanities. Her research interests include born-digital archival preservation\, geospatial humanities\, and Automatic Speech Recognition applications in archives. In addition to Dear Mr. Meredith\, Abbie is the creator of Mapping Memphis\, a geospatial analysis of historical funeral home data (www.mapping-memphis.com).

SUMMARY:Conceptualizing and Creating a Digital Edition
DESCRIPTION:Are you looking for a workshop environment to begin planning your edition? Join eLaboratories at the Digital Humanities Summer Institute for the course “Conceptualizing and Creating a Digital Edition.” \n\n\n\nThis course will explore all aspects of conceptualizing\, planning for\, and creating a digital edition. It provides a basic introduction to the various types of digital editions\, the practice of editing in the digital age\, and a survey of the many digital tools available to serve project goals. Approaching a digital edition means taking time to think about how end-users will want to work with a particular edition. Beginning with the research and analytical needs of end-users in mind\, editors are better able to develop effective editorial strategies that will result in a dynamic\, useful\, and usable\, digital edition. In this course\, participants will engage in hands-on learning and group discussions related to project conceptualization\, editorial policies and processes\, and the selection and use of digital tools that can serve the needs of researchers and other end-users. Participants will bring a few sample materials they are working with. We will use these in a class project—creating a digital edition over the course of the week using skills learned in each session. The goal is for participants to return to their home institutions ready and able to build upon\, enhance\, and transform these initial ideas into robust digital editions. \n\n\n\nThis course is jointly sponsored by eLaboratories and the Digital Humanities Summer Institute\, and will be taught collaboratively by eLabs course instructors Christopher Ohge\, Victoria Sciancalepore and Serenity Sutherland\, and eLabs Managing Director Katie Blizzard. This course may be combined with “Open-Assembly Teaching\, Making\, and Publishing: COVE Editions and Studio.” \n\n\n\nPlease note that the application for tuition scholarships and travel bursaries closes on February 14\, and early bird registration close on April 1. Discounts are also available for members of select organizations\, or for students and staff of select universities and colleges. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Pricing \n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Hosts & Location
