University of California, Santa Barbara | Tuesday-Friday, 27-30 October 2020 | CANCELLED
Discussions have taken place on the Steering Group, with our Connect 2020 hosts at UC Santa Barbara and with our planned 2021 hosts the University of Notre Dame. In view of the great uncertainty about how and when the COVID-19 pandemic will resolve, and how long it will be before travel gets back to some semblance of normality, the reluctant decision has been made to cancel the Samvera Connect 2020 conference.
We plan to replace the face-to-face conference with some form of on-line event and, over the next few weeks, will consult about the precise form this should take. At the same time, we will continue discussions with UC Santa Barbara and Notre Dame to determine how best to plan for physical conferences in 2021 and 2022: we will let you know the outcome of these in due course.On-line | October 2020
Samvera Connect (hashtag #samvera2020) is a chance for the Samvera Community to come together with an emphasis on synchronizing efforts, technical development, plans, and community links. This year, of course, the COVID-19 pandemic has meant that we cannot meet face-to-face; instead we’re putting together an exciting, on-line event that we hope will capture many of the best bits that our in-person conference normally offers. 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 advertises this yearly conference with the slogan “as a Samvera Partner or user, if you can only make it to one Samvera meeting this academic year, this is the one to attend!”
