Draft Agenda

Join the leading researchers and professionals striving to digitize Natural History Collections in the U.S.! The Summit brings together representatives from TCNs, iDigBio, and partner initiatives related to NSF's Advancing Digitization of Biodiversity Collections (ADBC) program. The Summit will focus on discussions of shared goals, challenges, opportunities, and inspire collaboration.

"Meeting so many people, hearing the details of what is going on, was invaluable. The 'networking' part of the Summit was really the highlight, and I thought the fairly rapid presentations by quite a lot of people, with a balance of breakout groups greatly facilitated that."

"I've been to all of the Summits and I hope to go to many more. This is singularly the best opportunity for me to network with collections people across taxa and to talk about stuff I care a lot about. It was a very positive event and I learned a ton as always."

"I greatly enjoyed the Summit! And I wish that I'd had the opportunity to attend, or to gain this level of knowledge in some other way, before starting my first TCN involvement. It would have greatly helped!"
