Dear SPN Community,

I'm distributing this call on behalf of a colleague. Some of you might be interested in bringing a software-focused lens to planning this conference.

Best,

Katherine

The NDSA calls for volunteers to join our Planning Committee for Digital Preservation 2026.

 

Digital Preservation (DigiPres) is the NDSA’s annual conference – open to members and non-members alike – focused on stewardship, curation, and preservation of digital information and cultural heritage. The 2026 meeting will take place as a virtual event in Fall 2026.

Planning Committee responsibilities include:

• Defining a vision for the conference
• Establishing the conference date
• Crafting and distributing a Call for Proposals
• Reviewing and selecting proposals
• Determining the conference schedule
• Moderating sessions
• Supporting membership through recruitment and mentorship efforts
• Collaborating with the NDSA Coordinating Committee on sponsorship opportunities

We expect to have monthly group calls from February-December, with some periods being busier than others, such as when proposals will be reviewed and the schedule is finalized.

 

Join us by completing this form by Friday, February 13th, and please share widely.

 

We look forward to working with you!

 

Kathryn Michaelis and Tabitha Samuel, 2026 Co-Chairs
