Call for presentations NDF2014

We're delighted to announce the call out for presenters for the National
Digital Forum 2014 (25–26 November, Museum of New Zealand Te Papa
Tongarewa, Wellington).

The conference will be a mixture of keynote presentations, plenary sessions
and lightning talks. We are also interested in running pre/post conference
workshops, so do get in touch if you have an idea for those.

To get a sense of the National Digital Forum, please take a look at the
line up for past conferences http://www.ndf.org.nz/past-conferences/
What are we looking for this year?

We are keen to hear from practitioners from across the GLAM sector. If you
would like to raise a pressing issue, share an inspiring project, or
discuss opportunities and challenges in the sphere of digital cultural
heritage, we look forward to hearing from you.

We welcome proposals on any topic that's affecting the culture and heritage
sector, but if that's too broad here are a few starters:

- Cross-sector GLAM initiatives – how can we work together better? Where
are the most interesting and useful points of connection?
- Crowd sourcing and gamification – how can our users helpfully
contribute to our work? And what are some smart ideas for managing those
relationships?
- Indigenous knowledge and digital preservation – how do we build and
preserve the memory of a multicultural nation?
- The evolution of libraries as community hubs – what is the future of
libraries? What does major change mean for core users and traditional
services?
- DIY archives – how can we respond as the conventional parameters of
our sector expand? What new platforms does the collective memory inhabit?

The conference is not limited to these topics however, and we encourage you
to submit your abstract even if it falls outside of this framework.

Please feel free to email Conference Convenors, Thomasin and Matthew at
conference@ndf.org.nz if you would like to discuss your proposal prior to
submitting.

Proposals are due *Friday 30 May*.
