Hi all,
Librarians and open access advocates in our community might be interested
in the Public Knowledge Project conference, which is happening right before
Wikimania in Montreal! (along with Debconf, Digital Humanities 2017, and
many more). (For those unfamiliar, the PKP is a project to build an open
platform for publishing scholarly journals and conferences.

Dear colleagues,
The Sixth International PKP Scholarly Publishing Conference
<https://pkp.sfu.ca/pkp2017/index> is in just under one month, and we
couldn't be more excited!
If you've already registered, we're looking forward to seeing you soon. If
you haven't yet registered, it's not too late! We still have a few
available spaces: click to register now
<https://pkp.sfu.ca/pkp2017/schedConf/registration>.
Still undecided? There are so many great reasons to join us August 2 - 4,
2017 in beautiful Montréal:
- Check out our newly updated conference program
<https://pkp.sfu.ca/pkp2017/schedConf/program> to see the complete list
of dynamic lightning talks and awesome speakers;
- Meet new people: We've organized a number of informal and fun social
events so you can reconnect with colleagues, chat with potential
collaborators, or make new friends;
- There are still a few rooms left at the special conference rate
<https://pkp.sfu.ca/pkp2017/schedConf/accommodation>, including the
especially affordable $45/night;
- Summertime is festival season
<http://montrealgazette.com/tag/montreal-festivals> - need we say more?
If you have any questions, please get in touch. We'd love to hear from you.
Hope to see you soon!
