Membership of the DLM Forum is open to any organisation or person interested in Information Governance.

The DLM Forum was founded by the European Commission and regular meetings, events and activities are held in different locations across Europe. As a result, the organisation tends naturally to have a European focus. However, there is no restriction on applications for membership from countries outside the European Union and we welcome close co-operation and liaison with the international community. We work hard to ensure that the standards and guidelines issued by the DLM Forum are truly international in nature and may be applied in different cultural and national contexts outside, as well as inside, Europe.

Typically, our members come from the following areas and institutions and from many different industry sectors:

• Archives and Memory Institutions
• Academic and Research Faculties
• Public Bodies
• Regulators
• Private Organisations
• Industry Associations
• Consultants
• Suppliers
• Individuals
• Students

Information about our activities may be found here. 

Members pay an annual subscription, the current membership fees can be found here.
