PASIG, the Preservation and Archiving Special Interest Group, will be holding its 12th international meeting May 22-24, 2013, in Washington DC at the Washington Court Hotel. This independent, community-led meeting provides a forum for practitioners, researchers, industry experts and vendors in the field of digital preservation, long-term information retention, and archiving to exchange ideas, identify trends, and forge new connections.  

This meeting follows a our October 2012 meeting in Dublin Ireland, where 93% of survey respondents rated the speakers as a "4" or a "5", and 97% of attendees said the event met expectations.

Speakers and Agenda

PASIG Washington DC will feature the best elements of past meetings, with a heavy emphasis on practical approaches to digital preservation, building and operating archiving systems, and research in emerging technology and methods.
