Featured talks and practical skills workshops

Opportunities to connect with the regional digital preservation community

A hybrid option for DPC Members unable to travel in person

Who is the event for?
This is a practical set of events which are designed to privilege operational staff working directly on digital preservation. We are particularly keen for the following groups to attend:
-
Junior staff recently appointed and looking for opportunities to build their professional networks;
-
New entrants to digital preservation seeking to apply professional know-how to this new field;
-
Experienced practitioners who have clear insights into the challenges of digital preservation in their own institutions.
-
Senior staff, researchers and students are also welcome, though it is practical knowledge exchange that will be most prominent.
Priority registration for DPC Members is NOW OPEN. Please visit the event page for more information and register today!
