Fellow travelers,

For those of you planning to come to iPRES (which I personally  
recommend), you should also know that PASIG, the SUN Preservation and  
Archiving Special Interest Group, is following on immediately  
afterwards in San Francisco, from October 7-9.

PASIG is by design a practitioner's conference, and addresses the nuts  
and bolts of engineering and operating digital archives. The size of  
the event allows for an uncommon level of interaction across a broad  
range of participants, and SUN's sponsorship gives it a technological  
depth that is rare at similar events.
