Subject: Jan 11 - 13 PASIG in Austin -- Agenda & Registration: Early Bird Special Registration coming to a close

PASIG, the Preservation and Archiving Special Interest Group, will January 11-13, 2012 in Austin at the AT&T Conference Center on the campus of University of Texas at Austin. This meeting represents the reincarnation of PASIG as an independent, community-led organization--open to and welcoming of practitioners, researchers, industry experts and vendors in the digital preservation and archiving field. We're excited by the depth of speakers and topics, and the energy from the community in putting together this exchange.

The early registration discount expires this Wednesday, 11/30. Registration is $200 through November 30, 2011, and $325 thereafter. The room block at the AT&T Executive Conference Center is available on a first come, first served basis. Alternative hotels are listed on the web site.

Conference registration and hotel information is online at: http://sites.tdl.org/austinpasig/registration/
