[Nhcoll-l] Submit your abstracts for DemoCamp at SPNHG/TDWG by April 19

[Jason Best]

Greetings colleagues,
If you've created innovative software, tools, services, or workflows supporting the management and use of natural history collections, DemoCamp is an ideal venue for you to share your work at SPNHC/TDWG 2024. DemoCamp is based on a presentation format without any slideshow - you show off your technology only using a live demonstration. We encourage you to submit your abstracts for consideration before the April 19 deadline. The DemoCamp session description and abstract submission URL are provided below.

We look forward to seeing you at SPNHC/TDWG 2024!
The DemoCamp Team

DEMO01 DemoCamp: Live demonstrations of technology for natural history collections and biodiversity data

Session Type: Demonstration; Open to abstract submissions
Conference Track: General interest
Organizers: Jason H. Best, Deborah L. Paul, Erica Krimmel

Abstract
Digital technology and standards are increasingly critical components of natural history collections. Ongoing efforts to digitize natural history collections and link the resulting information to other realms will eventually culminate in a comprehensive digital record of biodiversity preserved and represented in collections worldwide. This significant expansion of digital collections reach will further cement the important role of technology and standards in the management, analysis, and dissemination of natural history collections specimens and data.

Since its debut at SPNHC 2009, DemoCamp has provided a venue for developers, biodiversity informaticians, digitization managers, and collection managers to convene and share innovative approaches for the use of technology to enhance the management and use of natural history collections. Presentations demonstrate the use of software, tools, services, and workflows that enhance capacity, use global standards, and extend the accessibility and quality of information.

The format of DemoCamp dictates that presentations must be “live, without a net” and forbids the use of slideshows. Each presenter is allotted time for demonstrating the technology as well as questions from the audience. This format ensures that only functional technology is presented.
