that provide training, resource sharing, and workforce enhancement. Major topics will include digitization strategies for ensuring data quality, digitizing in support of the digital extended specimen, lightning talks by digitization practitioners from around
the globe, updates from U.S. National Science Foundation-funded digitization projects, image and data storage, digitization workflows, and expanding biodiversity information through the digitization of trait data. BioDigiCon will address essential content
for those working at the interface of physical specimens and the generation of digital data from those specimens. </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt; color:black"> </span></p>
