[SOA] BPE 2023 Call for Proposals

[Bales, Amber]

Best Practices Exchange 2023

The Future of Digital Preservation

Call for Proposals

The Best Practices Exchange (BPE) Program Committee is now accepting
session proposals for our next unconference, which will be June 12-14,
2023, at the University of Georgia Special Collections Libraries in Athens,
GA.

Submit your proposal via this short form (
https://forms.gle/vHpTmZ8yuSwXAcoZ7) by Monday March 6, 2023.

BPE is a community of practitioners in the area of the management and
preservation of digital information who gather annually to share
experiences and have honest conversations about our work. It is an
unconference in the sense that we prioritize providing a safe space for
active participation and peer-to-peer learning both in the sessions and
outside of them. Speakers and attendees come from a variety of backgrounds,
including government and university archivists, library and information
science educators, technologists, special collection librarians, records
managers, and product developers.

Our theme this year is The Future of Digital Preservation. What are you
excited or concerned about? What are you doing now to prepare for future
challenges or opportunities? What about our current professional practices
should we take forward into the future and what isn't working that should
be left behind?

Proposals can be in a variety of formats and may focus on any aspect of the
future, things like (but certainly not limited to) technology, funding,
environmental impact and sustainability, ethics, computational archives and
archives as data, or the trend towards outsourcing and working with
vendors. We also encourage proposals related to any subject of interest to
you, even if they are not directly related to the theme.

A strong proposal for BPE is one that is based on real-world examples and
experiences, honestly and openly examines successes and failures, includes
practical take-ways, and encourages active participation from attendees. We
also invite you to be creative about the format of your proposal.
