The CLIR/DLF Team has made the difficult decision to bring our 2020 DLF Forum and affiliated events online in fall 2020. While it won’t be the same as the Forum and events we’ve known and loved, this is a chance for us to be creative and to design experiences that will work for you. We are grateful for your thoughts, suggestions, and feedback, and look forward to hearing from you.

Please share your thoughts with us by Monday, June 1.
