Introducing The pAVilion!
This year, we think The pAVilion will be one of the most exciting additions we’ve made to the conference!
The pAVilion will bring together the Vendor Cafe with the AV Fair, skill shares, “ask an expert” spaces, and small group discussions. Our goal is to create a hub for sharing information at the conference.
Exhibitors – suppliers and service providers have always been a great source of information about what’s new and what’s coming up. They provide an important look into what’s down the road.
Friday in The pAVilion will be open to the archives community to highlight the work of AMIA’s committees and groups. Activities may include –
- Resume Table
- Small Group Discussions
- Authors Table
- Ask an Expert
- Demos
- Mini workshops
Saturday in The pAVilion will be open to the public to encourage those in the archives and media community to participate in the Community AV Archiving Fair.
Community AV Archiving Fair – presented by Community Archiving Workshop. Independent media makers, collecting institutions, and community groups in the Portland area are invited to bring their challenges, their media objects, and their data for a day of collaborative problem solving and skill-sharing with the AMIA community. The fair is organized around a number of “stations,” each of which will be staffed by AMIA volunteers, and focus on a particular workflow, technique, or tool. Stations will include: Film Inspection, Analog Inventory Techniques, Digitization, Prioritizing & Preparing Media for Digitization, Post-digitization File Management & Storage, Disaster Preparedness & Recovery, and Digital Preservation.
