DCMI 2020 International Conference on Metadata: DCMI Virtual

With regret, due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the consequent uncertainty and disruption which will continue for the medium term, the DCMI 2020 Organising Committee has taken the decision to postpone the DCMI 2020 International Conference on Metadata until Autumn 2021. We have now closed the Call For Participation for this year, and will write to those who had already submitted a proposal. We apologise to those of you who may have begun preparing for this, and trust that you understand that this is unavoidable.

Now for some more positive news! We are planning an alternative event for September 2020. We are calling this DCMI Virtual. This will be a programme of virtual, invited, moderated sessions including presentations, tutorials, expert panel discussions and keynotes. We will do our best to make these as interactive as possible, with moderated question and answer sessions.

DCMI Virtual will run from Monday September 14th 2020 to Friday 25th September 2020.

Because of the global nature of the DCMI community, we will run each session in one of two different timeslots, designed to allow as wide an audience as possible to participate in the overall event. Because some sessions will be at inconvenient times for some delegates, those delegates who have registered for DCMI Virtual will be able to access recordings of the sessions.
