We are delighted to invite DPC Members to attend a Members’ Unconference and Networking Event in Dublin!

This Ireland-based event will take place face-to-face over the course of two days and will form part of a worldwide program of Member networking activities which aims to offer events in locations in other parts of the world as scheduling permits (details to follow in due course).

In addition to meeting and networking with other members of the Coalition, we will have an exciting program of fast-paced member led talks and discussions, giving you the opportunity to take the floor and exchange ideas, showcase work and discuss key themes.

*Given the nature of the activities, we do not plan to offer online attendance at this event but aim to provide written highlights.

Who is the event for?

The Annual DPC Members’ Unconference is for DPC Members only and designed to privilege operational staff working directly on digital preservation. We are particularly keen to hear from three groups:

• 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 might not normally attend the DPC Board but have clear insights into the challenges of digital preservation in their own institutions and are well placed to steer the DPC's practical program.

• Senior staff, researchers and students are also welcome, though it is practical knowledge exchange that will be most prominent.

Outline Program

This is an ‘Unconference,’ so the program is currently empty. See the DPC event page for more information on how to fill it with your suggestions for sessions!

If you would like to discuss an idea with us before you take the plunge and add it to the form, please do email sarah.middleton@dpconline.org.
