Registration is now open for the 2022 CRKN Conference: Strength in Community! Join us from October 3-7 (virtual thematic sessions) and from November 1-2 (members-only workshops in Montreal) for exciting and thought-provoking conversations about the strength of community and the future of digital scholarship in Canada. We are also holding a pre-conference virtual Intro to CRKN session on September 28 for those who want to learn more about our organization and mandate in advance of the conversations at the conference.
There are two separate registration pages: one for the virtual thematic sessions and one for the in-person members-only workshops. Those who wish to attend both virtual and in-person events MUST register for both.

Once again, we are pleased to offer a conference group rate. By registering using the group rate, an unlimited number of participants from your institution may attend the conference. To register for the group rate, please identify one individual from your institution as the group rate administrator. The group rate administrator will register on behalf of the institution by following these steps:
- Select the “Group Rate” applicable to your institution
- Choose “1” for the quantity to obtain the flat group rate
- Complete the form with your individual information (not as a business)
- Place your order after entering your payment information
- Contact nbundhoo@crkn.ca with your order confirmation number to obtain a discount code that can be circulated to individuals in your institution to register for the conference at no additional fee. Please note that individuals benefiting from the group rate MUST still register.
There are two group rates:
For members: If your institution is in bands 2 to 7, your group rate is $150 (including HST). If your institution is in bands 8-13, your group rate is $250 (including HST). View the list of CRKN member institution bands and group rates.
