conference

The challenges and changes that archivists and information management professionals face are based in the need to manage, preserve and make accessible our collections be they paper, film, audio visual or digital formats. Join us in Brisbane in 2012 for a Congress program that is focused, innovative and interactive.

The Congress will examine our ‘climate of change’ through the themes:

The AES 130th Convention Committee invites submission of technical papers for presentation at the 2011 May 13 to 16 meeting in London.

By 2011 January 5, a proposed title, 60- to 120-word abstract, and 500- to 750-word précis of the paper must be submitted electronically to the AES 130th proposal submission site at http://www.aes.org/events/130/. Submissions will be accepted starting approximately 2010 December 8. Presenting authors (one per paper) will receive a free CD-ROM of the papers.

Screening the Future 2011 will connect small and large archives, service providers, vendors, funders, policymakers, and educators developing solutions to the most urgent questions facing audiovisual archives. During the conference, PrestoCentre, a new AV competence centre will be launched. PrestoCentre will serve AV archives in Europe and beyond with advocacy, expertise, training, information, networking and tools in issues of digitisation and digital preservation. PrestoCentre is a full-time, action oriented and membership driven organiation.
