The 40th annual ARRL and TAPR Digital Communications Conference (DCC) will
take place September 17–18, 2021. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, this
year’s conference will be held online.

Registered DCC attendees participating via Zoom will be able to interact
with presenters and other attendees via a chat room as well as raise a
virtual hand to ask questions. Click here to register (you don’t need a
Zoom account to register).

Non-registered DCC attendees can watch the live stream for free on YouTube
and can chat and ask questions via the moderator monitoring the channel. No
registration is required for YouTube access (the YouTube URL will be
announced and posted on this webpage preceding the DCC).

DCC registration is free for TAPR members and $30 for non-members. Members

Non-members who would like to join TAPR and receive the free DCC pass can
simply add TAPR membership and DCC registration to their shopping carts.
After checkout, they will receive the free DCC pass when their membership
is processed.
