Good morning,

 

Just a reminder as you’re all engaged in planning great things for 2018, please consider helping us plan DigiPres 2018! The best planning team will draw from many perspectives, backgrounds and experiences -- and of course we’ll need to hear from both newcomers and DigiPres veterans to put together the most engaging program. So, I hope to hear from you soon! Please find the details below, or feel free to reach out to me with any thoughts or questions.

 

Best,

 

-Aaron

Hello,

 

The National Digital Stewardship Alliance calls for volunteers from NDSA member organizations to join the Planning Committee for Digital Preservation 2018.

 

Digital Preservation is the NDSA’s major meeting and conference—open to members and non-members alike—focusing on digital stewardship and preservation, data curation, and related issues. This year it will take place October 17th & 18th at the M Resort, just outside Las Vegas, Nevada, after the DLF Forum.

 

Logistical arrangements will be handled by the Digital Library Federation, so that this committee can focus more fully on the program for #digipres18. Duties involve defining the vision for the event, drafting and circulating a CFP, coordinating the review and selection of proposals, crafting and publicizing the schedule, and collaborating with the DLF Forum planning committee to make this conference partnership a success. We anticipate monthly group calls and regular email exchanges February-October.

 

This is an opportunity to help shape a crucial venue for intellectual exchange, community-building, development of best practices, and national-level agenda-setting in the field of digital preservation—as well as to set the tone and direction for future NDSA events. Join us!

Volunteers from NDSA member organizations are asked to complete this form by Monday, February 5.

 

Please share this opportunity widely.

 

-Aaron
