PASIG, the Preservation and Archiving Special Interest Group, will be
holding its 12th international meeting May 22-24, 2013, in Washington DC
at the Washington Court Hotel. This independent, community-led meeting
provides a forum for practitioners, researchers, industry experts and
vendors in the field of digital preservation, long-term information
retention, and archiving to exchange ideas, identify trends, and forge
new connections.  


This meeting follows a our October 2012 meeting in Dublin Ireland, where
93% of survey respondents rated the speakers as a "4" or a "5", and 97%
of attendees said the event met expectations.
