National Digital Conference - Preparation



I've been lucky enough to gain a scholarship to attend the National Digital Forum Conference to be held on October 13th and 14th at Te Papa in Wellington, New Zealand.  In return for the scholarship I've been asked to give a summary of  my experiences at the conference and thought a blog might be the best way to do this.  At present I'm in the process of deciding which presentations to attend.  Looking at the programme, choosing the lectures to attend is definitely going to be the most challenging part of the conference.  My main areas of interest are crowdsourcing and citizen science projects and their use within  GLAM institutions.  This focus does narrow the number of talks I want to see.  However, I find I wish to be in at least two places at once, at several points in the conference.  As a result, my aim this week is to dive into research about the presenters to attempt to finalise which lectures I want to attend.
