LDCX 2018

LDCX 2018 continues in our tradition of bring together institutions and technologists with common needs and concerns to collaborate at the intersection of cultural heritage and technology. We hope to leverage this year's unconference not only to develop and improve shared products and solutions, but also as a space to identify areas for collaboration on the bleeding edge.

High-level themes for this year’s unconference include:

• artificial intelligence and machine learning applied to libraries, archives, and museums;
• data-forward architectures and APIs, ETL, data pipelining, and serverless system design;
• web archiving;
• distributed digital preservation;
• modern front-end system integration, including convergence in GLAMs, and building an ecosystem of software developers around IIIF.

Of course, as an unconference, participants bring their own expertise and topics--all are a fit!

More information on LDCX 2018 can be found at the conference website: https://library.stanford.edu/projects/ldcx/2018-conference.

As in previous years, we also plan on hosting additional meetings around LDCX, including a Samvera Partners meeting, a Samvera Developers Congress, and the LOCKSS Alliance Meeting (all held March 29-30, 2018).
