Subject: A Flexible Way to Attend the Dataverse Community Meeting (DCM 2025) Virtually!
John D Martin III
Dear Dataverse Community,
As we prepare for the annual Dataverse Community Meeting (DCM) in June, we understand that many universities and research institutions are currently facing travel and professional development funding restrictions. We know this has made it challenging for some of you to attend in person, and we truly value your participation.
To ensure everyone who wants to can engage with DCM 2025, we've introduced a virtual attendance option with a reduced registration fee. We want to highlight an innovative and cost-effective way your team can still benefit from the meeting:
Consider a single virtual registration for your office or department.
With one virtual registration, you can gather your colleagues in a conference room and participate in the meeting together. This approach offers several significant advantages:
- Significant Cost Savings: Drastically reduce individual travel and registration expenses for your team.
- Team Engagement: Foster a collaborative learning environment by experiencing the conference together.
- Support the Dataverse Community: Your virtual registration helps the DCM planning committee recuperate lost registrations and continue to deliver valuable content.
We believe this is a fantastic way to navigate current funding challenges while still providing your team with access to the latest Dataverse developments, discussions, and networking opportunities.
You can find more details about DCM 2025, including registration options, on our event page: https://web.cvent.com/event/497af056-3d1e-4268-a7b7-02d3e2ba04a2/summary
We look forward to your participation, whether in person or virtually!
Sincerely, on behalf of the DCM Planning Committee,
