DATE:
Keynote - Monday, December 1st 6:45 pm followed by reception
Symposium - Tuesday, December 2nd 8:30 am - 5:00 pm
LOCATION:
UBC Vancouver Campus
The goal of this event is for practitioners and stakeholders, in a variety of sectors, to come together to learn and discuss:
- what initiatives are happening provincially and nationally to support digitization
of local content, heritage and educational materials
- what digitization strategies and priorities are emerging here in BC
- what support and coordination of our collective efforts might be needed to take digitization activities to the next level.
The program will include a keynote address by Ian Wilson, Librarian and Archivist of Canada, on the evening of December 1st, followed on December 2nd by a day-long symposium containing speaker presentations, table discussion and networking opportunities that will create a rich environment for collaboration.
There is no fee for participants. However due to limited seating, and to ensure representation by a broad range of stakeholders, attendance will be by invitation only.
