South Dakota</st1:State></st1:place>, June 17-22, 2013. DemoCamp provides a venue for promotion of technological solutions to advance the field of museum curation and specimen digitization, with broad applications for biology, ecology, and biodiversity informatics.
DemoCamp is sponsored in part this year by iDigBio, the National Resource for Advancing Digitization of Biodiversity Collections (ADBC) funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:Arial">Live demonstrations are welcomed in any technologies relevant to biologists, collections managers, or biodiversity information managers, as well as technologies
that enable the broader use of data, or enable citizen scientist participation. Technologies demonstrated at past sessions have included collections/ transaction management software, georeferencing applications, robotic imaging equipment, automated label digitization
tools, and programs for analysis of data/ images. DemoCamp presentations should feature the latest developments in currently available products/ software/ applications/ tools as well as ongoing research projects and prototypes. DemoCamp sessions also provide
a venue for idea exchange and feedback from potential users.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

No PowerPoints or other “canned” presentations are allowed. Only live demonstrations of functional software, websites, tools, or applications may be presented. Under special circumstances (e.g., large and non-portable robotic imaging equipment) videos of
demonstrated functionality may be allowed.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
