Just a note for all of our aspiring conferences attendees who might be clicking around the site looking for a place to get registered: It's not available just yet.

Registration will open up sometime in the next couple of months, and we will announce it far and wide (i.e., we'll blog about it and mention it on Twitter). We want to encourage early registration, both for the conference itself and for your travel and accommodations, so you can get a really fabulous trip lined up.

The University of Prince Edward Island, and DiscoveryGarden are pleased to announce that Prince Edward Island has been selected as the location for Open Repositories 2013!

Islands are often viewed as isolated and insular, but those that live on islands think differently: Island life is all about Community. Join us on Prince Edward Island in July 2013 to discuss the next generation of repositories. This will be the first Open Repositories Conference in Canada and what better place to make history than the historic birthplace of Canadian Confederation.
