Hi Meghan,

Registration will be open the last week of April. There's no fee. The meeting will take place at The Westin in Old Town Alexandria, VA. The registration website will detail all of the hotel and logistics information to help you plan.

The call for proposals is open through Friday, April 26.  We are looking for ideas, accomplishments and projects that highlight, contribute to, and further the community conversation.  Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

 *   Discussions of 'big data' challenges, especially regarding the management, search, and access of data for use
 *   Innovative methods of digital preservation, especially regarding sustainable practices, community approaches, and software solutions
 *   Collaboration successes and lessons learned highlighting a wide-range of digital preservation activities, such as best practices, open source solutions, and emerging tools
 *   Practical examples of research and scholarly use of stewarded data or content
 *   Educational trends for emerging and practicing professionals

Expressions of interest may be in any of the following ways:

 *   Panels or presentations
 *   5-minute lightning talks
 *   Demonstrations
 *   Posters

You can send me 300 words or less describing what you would like to present by April 26 [log in to unmask] Accepted proposals will be notified on or around May 10. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Best,
