europe

As in 2018, the 43rd edition of the World Conference will take place in the south of Europe, but in a region with a very different dynamic. By opting for Dubrovnik, another pearl of the Adriatic Sea, we connect east and west as much as old and new. This year’s main location will be the Rixos Hotel, a five star jewel offering a spectacular bay view within walking distance of the world-famous city centre. Thirty years after the fall of the Iron Curtain, the hotspot of media archiving will be where east and west have met for centuries.

The DPC invites you to join a briefing day to learn about emerging best practice in the digital preservation of sound and moving image. Invited speakers will share their experiences preserving these valuable collections at high risk of degradation and loss. Talks will address on-going work at national institutions tasked with looking after digital heritage as well as small organisations doing sound and moving image preservation on a shoe-string budget.
