Member registration has now opened for our latest briefing day on the topic of ‘Preserving Computer Aided Design (CAD)’ at IMechE, One Birdcage Walk, London on Friday 26th July.

The Digital Preservation Coalition first addressed this topic in July 2010, inviting expert practitioners to share their concerns and aspirations for long term management of CAD systems at an invitation Briefing Day called ‘Designed to Last’. Since then we have commissioned Alex Ball of DCC – one of the keynote speakers - to provide a Technology Watch Report that distils and updates latest thinking on the topic.

This DPC briefing day anticipates the launch of that report, and will allow participants to reflect on new and emerging challenges. Leaders in the field will be invited to foreground their own work and their practical concerns about preservation. Recent case studies will be presented and speakers will be invited to consider emerging and future trends. Participants will be invited to reflect on their own needs and an extended discussion will follow.

Places are limited and should be booked in advance. Registration will close one week before the event and early booking is recommended as we expect these events will be popular.

Priority will be given to DPC members: full members are invited to send up to five delegates and associates are invited to send one each. Non-members are welcome at a cost of £250 pounds per person, or may wish to consider joining the DPC prior to the event.
