About the NDSA and Digital Preservation 2017:

The National Digital Stewardship Alliance is a consortium of more than 160
organizations <http://ndsa.diglib.org/members-list/> committed to the
long-term preservation and stewardship of digital information and cultural
heritage, for the benefit of present and future generations. Digital
Preservation 2017 (#digipres17
<https://twitter.com/search?q=%23digipres17&src=typd>) will help to chart
future directions for both the NDSA and digital stewardship, and is
expected to be a crucial venue for intellectual exchange,
community-building, development of best practices, and national-level
agenda-setting in the field.

The conference will be held at the  Westin Convention Center
<http://www.westinpittsburgh.com/> “where downtown buzz meets restorative
sleep”, just blocks from historic Market Square
<http://marketsquarepgh.com/>, The Andy Warhol Museum
<http://www.warhol.org/>, boutiques, restaurants, and nightlife. The NDSA
strives to create a safe, accessible, welcoming, and inclusive event, and
will operate under the DLF Forum’s Code of Conduct
<https://www.diglib.org/forums/2016forum/code-of-conduct/>.

Submissions:

250-word proposals describing the presentation/demo/poster are invited (500
words for full panel sessions). Please also include a 50-word short
abstract for the program if your submission is selected. Submit proposals
online: https://conftool.pro/dlf2017/.

Deadline: May 9th, 2017 at 11:59pm PT.

We especially encourage proposals that speak to our conference theme,
“Preservation
is Political.” This core theme emerged from a discussion of strategic
topics, our practice, our mission and the challenges.

Submissions are invited in the following lengths and formats:

Talks/Demos: Presentations and demonstrations are allocated 30 minutes
each. Speakers should reserve time for interactive exchanges on next steps,
possible NDSA community action, and discussion or debate.

Panels: Panel discussions with 4 or more speakers will be given a dedicated
session. Organizers are especially encouraged to include as diverse an
array of perspectives and voices as possible, and to reserve time for
audience Q&A.

Minute Madness: Share your ideas in 60 seconds or less as part of the
opening plenary of the conference. Presenters will have the option to
display posters during the reception that follows. (Guidelines for poster
sizes will be provided on acceptance.)

Lunchtime Working Group Meetings: NDSA working and interest group chairs
are invited to propose group meetings or targeted collaboration sessions.
(Lunch provided.)

All submissions will be peer-reviewed by NDSA’s volunteer Program
Committee. Presenters will be notified in July and guaranteed a
registration slot at the conference.
