We are delighted to invite DPC Members from Australasia and Asia-Pacific to attend a DPC Members’ Unconference and Networking Event in Canberra!
Exclusively for DPC Members, the Unconference will be hosted by the National Archives of Australia and will run alongside the NFSA’s Fantastic Futures event that week. It will take place face-to-face* over the course of a full day. The event forms part of a worldwide program of DPC Member networking activities which aims to offer events in locations in other parts of the world as scheduling permits.
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.

**some timings may be adjusted to accommodate the number of member-led sessions on the program
Whether you have a task you want to work on with others, a fresh idea or solution you want to demo, or topics you want to discuss to learn from others’ experience, this part of the program provides a space for you to achieve all of this. Pitch your ideas and we’ll fill in the (currently blank) program for you to make the most of the Coalition’s collective digital preservation expertise.
Each session will offer approximately 45 minutes for you to either:
Discuss: Pick the collective digital preservation hive mind and start a discussion about a topic
Learn: Demonstrate and share solutions or workflows so that others can learn from your experiences.
Share: Show and tell presentations of recent work, new ideas and achievements (or failures)
Play: Share and lead a digital preservation games session!
All DPC Members are invited to attend. Full Members can register up to 5 delegates and Associate Members can register 3 delegates for the DPC Members Unconference. This event is designed to privilege operational staff working directly on digital preservation. We are particularly keen to hear from:
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 have clear insights into the challenges of digital preservation in their own institutions.
Senior staff, researchers and students are also welcome, though it is practical knowledge exchange that will be most prominent.
DPC Members, please log in to register for the Unconference.
