WHO SHOULD ATTEND?        
If your institution is caring for digital collections of any kind or size, this meeting will be a unique opportunity to share your knowledge and experience and to learn from colleagues working on similar challenges. If you conduct research or assessment in the field of digital preservation, or are a funder of preservation projects and initiatives, this meeting will provide an in-depth exploration of current practice and challenges faced by stewards of digital collections.
