This day-long symposium will explore the current state of managing,
sharing, and preserving digital assets.

Join us in considering questions about digital assets such as:

    Can we plan for 50 years and 5 years at the same time?

    What makes a 'quality, useful, and/or trustworthy' asset?

    What are the hot-button rights issues?

    Where are the innovative, creative, and/or resourceful
    solutions?

    How can we stay ahead of the technological curve(s)?
