DigitalPreservation 2012/NDIIPP Partners Meeting

It's that time of year again: planning for the NDIIPP partners meeting is underway.  This year's meeting, DigitalPreservation 2012, is scheduled for July 24-26, and will be held in the Washington, DC, area.  The theme is access to digital content under stewardship.  We are lining up exciting keynote speakers and looking forward to a lively exchange of ideas.

Our annual summer meeting of NDIIPP partners, NDSA members and interested individuals brings together an extensive community to share achievements in the areas of technical infrastructure, innovation, content collection, standards and outreach efforts.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

**Challenges, successes and lessons learned within and between stewarding institutions

**Digital preservation tools, services and other resources

**Best practices for digital preservation practices in smaller institutions

**Educational needs and opportunities for emerging and practicing professionals

**Personal digital archiving

In the interest of broad participation, we are eagerly seeking proposals for 5-minute lightening talks, along with posters and demonstrations.  Ideas for workshops and session panels will also be considered.

Please send 300 words or less describing what you would like to present to Erin Engle ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) by April 23. Accepted proposals will be notified by May 1.
