Greetings colleagues,
If you've created innovative software, tools, services, or workflows supporting the management and use of natural history collections, DemoCamp is an ideal venue for you to share your work at SPNHC 2025. DemoCamp is based on a presentation format without any slideshow - you show off your technology only using a live demonstration. We encourage you to submit your abstracts for consideration before the March 10 deadline. The DemoCamp session description and abstract submission URL are provided below.
We look forward to seeing you at SPNHC 2025!

DEMO01 DemoCamp - Live demonstrations of technology for natural history collections and biodiversity data
Session Type: Demonstration; Open to abstract submissions
Organizers: Jason H. Best, Katie Pearson
Abstract
Digital technology and data standards are increasingly critical components of natural history collections. Ongoing efforts to digitize natural history collections and link the resulting information to other resources is envisioned to eventually culminate in a comprehensive digital record of biodiversity preserved and represented in collections worldwide. This significant expansion of the reach of digital collections will further cement the important role of technology and standards in the management, analysis, and dissemination of natural history collections specimens and data.
Since its debut at SPNHC 2009, DemoCamp has provided a venue for developers, biodiversity informaticians, digitization managers, and collection managers to convene and share innovative approaches for the use of technology to enhance the management and use of natural history collections. Presentations demonstrate the use of software, tools, services, and workflows that enhance capacity, use or develop global data standards, and extend the accessibility and quality of information.
The format of DemoCamp dictates that presentations must be live demonstrations rather than descriptions of the technology and forbids the use of slideshows. Each presenter is allotted time for a live demo as well as questions from the audience. This format ensures that only functional technology is presented.
