NDSA folks, Wanted to give you some updates on the Best Practices Exchange conference and encourage you to put in proposals. The conference will be held November 13-15, 2013 in Salt Lake City, UT. Info is at http://www.bpexchange.org/. All manner of proposals are welcome, but there's a special focus on audio-visual materials. The deadline for proposals is Sept. 1, 2013. Two keynote speakers have been confirmed for BPE. At the opening of the conference the morning of November 13th, former Senator Bob Bennett will be speaking, talking about how the archives community can advocate for electronic records needs to those who fund and decide (Congress, legislatures, etc.). The speaker at luncheon on the 14th will be Milt Shefter, representing the Academy of Motion Pictures Science and Technology Council. He's the co-author of The Digital Dilemma published a couple of years ago and is knowledgeable about electronic records issues as they pertain to filmmakers. He will also be conducting a seminar the afternoon of the 15th for students and independent filmmakers. Please consider submitting a proposal and distribute this widely. Thanks, Butch Butch Lazorchak Digital Archivist Library of Congress National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> (202) 707-2603 facebook.com/digitalpreservation @ndiipp ############################ To unsubscribe from the NDSA-ALL list: write to: mailto:[log in to unmask] or click the following link: http://list.digitalpreservation.gov/scripts/wa-DIGITAL.exe?SUBED1=NDSA-ALL&A=1
