The Accademia Nazionale Dei Lincei and Digital Preservation Cluster of the DELOS Network of Excellence in association with DigitalPreservationEurope (DPE), and InterPARES are pleased to open registration for the forthcoming Conference on Appraisal in the Digital World.

This conference provides an opportunity for information professionals, archivists, records managers, record creators, managers, students, and researchers from the sciences, the arts, government and business to rethink appraisal in the context of the changes brought about by digital technology and the globalization of our society, to network with colleagues, learn about current developments and research, discuss their own experiences, and identify risks and challenges that are likely to emerge from each possible choice. Presentations, panel discussions, and poster sessions will offer participants cross-disciplinary and international perspectives on appraisal.
