iDigBio, NMNH, and GBIF are please announce a very special poster session for the upcoming conference
<a href="https://www.idigbio.org/content/biodiversity-digitization-celebrating-decade-progress">
Biodiversity Digitization: Celebrating a decade of progress</a>. This will be an exciting social and learning activity, featuring about 30 pre-recorded posters that will be available for viewing and digesting asynchronously prior to a live Q&A using Kumospace.
Kumospace provides the opportunity for one or more participants to crowd around poster presenters to talk and ask questions about their content, much like an in-person event. Also like in-person events, you will be able to mix and mingle with other conference
attendees. We will post the link to Kumospace prior to the conference on the agenda page and provide directions for finding the presenters you’d like to query. Kumospace is available via your web browser and easy to access. There is nothing to download or
install to your computer. </p>
