Please fill out this Registration Form to reserve your spot.

Cost: US$450: Includes:

2 days of workshops and training
1 day of hackathon or unconference
Continental breakfast each day

surprise swag item

Refunds can be processed up to 60 days before the event (i.e. up to June 24), minus 3% to cover the cost of the credit card processing fee. We will try to accommodate cancellations that are requested with less than 60 days notice, but it will depend on the total number of registrants at the time. Registration is transferable, to allow another person from the same organization to attend in place of the original person, for example.

Syllabus

The first two days will be structured as workshops and training sessions. The beginning and ending sessions will be single-stream, with all participants together. The middle half will be split into two streams, which we are calling 'Digital Curator' and 'Technologist'.

The 3rd day is considered optional. The main focus is a Hydra/Fedora/Islandora-Archivematica Integration design charette. Space will be provided for a parallel 1 day unconference session, addressing additional participant interests.

Code of Conduct

We think it would be a good idea to adopt an official Code of Conduct for this Camp. Some examples we could use include:

Updates to this coming soon, feel free to add comments here about this topic.

Accommodations & Travel

Bell Tower Hotel

The Bell Tower is a 3 minute walk from the School of Information. A room block has been reserved at the Bell Tower Hotel, with a group discount rate. A discount code will be provided to all registrants. The group rate is $166 per night for a standard queen room single occupancy, $177 for double occupancy, with king and double bed rooms available as well. This is about $20 off the regular daily rate.
