Our Member’s Unconference ‘Connecting the Bits’ has been adapted to take place online, over the course of a day (with plenty of breaks!)
Contribute ideas for topics
The morning will take an Unconference format, with a difference. Prioritizing networking, interaction and knowledge exchange between DPC Members, we’re asking you to tell us which topics you’d like to hear about and/or whether you have a topic or work you would like to share. Collating these topics, we will build a program of short networking sessions for the first part of the day.
Tell us what you would like us to do next year
The afternoon will focus on DPC actions for the coming year. Starting with a brief presentation of the DPC RAM results, we’ll build upon the trends emerging from this model as well as the results of a Full Member call for support topics, and break into working groups to prioritize, discuss and recommend a course of action.
Who is the event for?
'Connecting the Bits' 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; and 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 programme. Senior staff, researchers and students are also welcome, though it's the practical know how that will be most prominent.

Can't attend?
We know that time zones might make this tricky for some of our members, but please do come for as much as you can. If you can't attend, the open topics information capture will be accessible to all Members and your contribution is still valuable. On the day, we will record the sessions and share these with Members only, and we will invite feedback on our proposals for DPC activities after the event, and before we publish our program for next year.
