The Mid Michigan Digital Practitioners (MMDP) will come together for an in-person meeting on Thursday, October 26, 2023, at the Library of Michigan in Lansing. As with all MMDP meetings, we will bring together a wide range of professionals and students engaged in creating and curating digital collections in Michigan and the surrounding region, including librarians, archivists, museum curators, historians, students, educators, and more. The goal of this meeting will be to provide an opportunity for regular and committed attendees of MMDP to come together after a few years of virtual programming and meet new and interested professionals to make connections. ---------------------------------------- Submit Your Proposals for the 2023 MMDP Meeting The MMDP Planning Group invites you to send your proposal for our October meeting. Proposals can be for Presentations (30-60 minutes), "Birds-of-a-Feather" Discussion Topics (approximately 30 minutes), Demonstrations (10 minutes), Lightning Talks (5 minutes), or a Poster. This is a great opportunity to reuse a poster shared at another conference! We welcome proposals from anyone, but are particularly interested in proposals from smaller institutions and students. For Presentations, Demonstrations, and Lightning Talks, we invite presenters to join us in-person or via a pre-recorded video. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate live-streamed presentations. As always, we welcome proposals for demos, talks, or posters on a wide range of topics, including (but not limited to): Collaboration ArchivesSpace Digital Preservation Digitization Electronic Records Management Project Management Storage Solutions Cataloging and Metadata (including cross-walks) Cloud Platforms Artificial Intelligence APIs Personal Digital Archiving Accessibility Diversity and Inclusion Digital Curation Tools Digital Humanities Marketing Strategies Media Standards, Tools, and Formats To submit a proposal, please complete the form with your idea: https://tinyurl.com/MMDP2023.
