About Samvera Connect
Drawing together the diversity of universities and organizations in the digital library and archives space, Samvera Connect is an annual assembly for participants in the vibrant Samvera Community's annual, face-to-face conference. It is a chance for members and potential members of the Samvera Community to gather in one place at one time, with an emphasis on synchronizing efforts, technical development, plans, and community links. The meeting program is aimed at existing users, managers and developers and at new folks who may be just "kicking the tires" on Samvera and who want to know more.Samvera has more than 30 formal Partners who both use the software and formally contribute to the Samvera effort overall. Beyond the Partners are many further organizations who use Samvera's software. Last year's conference attracted some 170 delegates from 60 institutionsOpen Source Community. The meeting welcomes delegates from universities, organizations, and vendor companies participating in the development, management or use of the Samvera Framework - the leading-edge open source repository and archival technology for use in museums, libraries and archives. Connect provides attendees with a forum for sharing the progress of the prior year and a fulcrum for planning and collaboration for the coming year.
Samvera Connect 2019 will take place at Washington University in St. Louis, from October 22 to 25.
Currently comprising 35 Partner institutions and organizations (and growing!), we anticipate Connect will draw upward of 150 attendees, including administrators, managers, developers, DevOps, librarians and archivists. The event will feature presentations, panels, posters, working and interest group sessions and meetings of IT and organizational leaders.
Samvera Connect is an opportunity to interact with an audience of information technologists, leaders in the library and archive community, organization administrators and decision-makers. Join us in meetings, in formal and informal chats, and at social events around Connect, and learn how you can impact the community.
We work hard to ensure that Samvera Connect is a welcoming conference and we operate a Code of Conduct and an Anti-Harrassment Policy.
