Goals

The goal of the Digital Discussion Group is to foster an exchange between conservators and selected vendors of imaging hardware and software.

The format for the Digital Discussion Group meetings allows representatives from leading imaging technology companies to make brief presentations, introducing products and technology. Following these presentations, there is discussion and commentary led by conservators with imaging interest and experience.

By engaging the developers of imaging hardware and software, conservators will gain exposure to state of the art imaging technology and trends. Further, the Digital Discussion Group meetings will afford conservators an opportunity to present their concerns and priorities to representatives of the imaging industry.
