Samvera Connect is a chance for the Samvera Community to gather in one place at one time, with an emphasis on synchronizing efforts, technical development, plans, and community solidarity. The meeting program is aimed at existing adopters, managers and developers and at new folks who may be just "kicking the tires" on Samvera technologies and who want to learn more.
...
The full conference registration includes breakfast and lunch plus morning and afternoon snacks and coffee breaks on Tuesday and Wednesday, plus a Tuesday evening reception.
Call for Proposals
Call for proposals for lightning talks and posters is extended until September 15th! Submit your proposal

Scholarships
Through the generosity of contributors to our Connect Scholarship Fund, we are able to offer awards to a small number of applicants to attend the 2023 Samvera Connect conference in Philadelphia, PA, from Sunday 22nd October to Thursday 26th October 2023.
Applications are open to Samvera Community participants. Priority consideration will be given to applicants who are unable to attend without some financial assistance and to applicants from underrepresented groups in the technology and open source communities including, but not limited to: LGBTQIA+, women, people of color, ability/disability, non-binary gender identities, etc.
The Scholarship Award will provide funding for conference registration and any workshops (if applicable), and for accommodation up to the four nights Sunday 22nd - Wednesday 25th October. It does not cover other costs such as travel and subsistence.
