Today we would like to draw your attention to the upcoming PKP Scholarly Publishing Conference 2011 which will take place in just about one month from now.

The Third International PKP Scholarly Publishing Conference will be held from September 26 - 28, 2011 at Freie Universitaet Berlin, Germany, organized by the Public Knowledge Project, in partnership with Freie Universitaet Berlin and Simon Fraser University Library.

Registration is still possible and there are still a few places available.

We're still making some final changes and confirmations, but we wanted to let everyone know about the preliminary program for the upcoming PKP conference in Berlin. Take a look at it here, and then be sure to register!

Just a quick note to let you know that the submission deadline for the upcoming PKP Conference has been extended to March 31, 2011. If you are planning to get something in, you've just been given a few more days to finish it off. If you decided not to submit because you ran out of time, you now have no excuse!

If you can't make it to the PKP Conference in person, you will be able to watch selected sessions online. We will be live streaming content on Wednesday night for John's keynote and throughout Thursday and Friday. For more information on the sessions, see the conference program.
