No Time to Wait 6

Netherlands Institute for Sound & Vision shall host the sixth No Time to Wait conference at its media museum in The Hague. No Time to Wait is a FREE three-day conference focused on open media, open standards, and digital audiovisual preservation managed by MediaArea.net. No Time to Wait has always been a conference that blends in-person and online participation and this year we shall work to emphasize online participation in response to the social, travel, and financial restrictions related to the pandemic.

This year's theme is Transparency, Teaching & Trust. Sharing open source solutions, contributing to open standards, and maintaining open workflows, can build a participatory, responsive, and sustainable foundation against the challenges of audiovisual preservation work. However, if funders, managers, supporters, and the communities we support don't understand what's at work, then skepticism, confusion, or exclusion can enter the environment. At this year's No Time to Wait we focus on cultivating Transparency, Teaching & Trust, working in a way that is sensible to onlookers, advocating for open solutions, and the challenge to sustain and evolve workflows that consider the perspectives of all involved.
