The colloquium will run alongside an International Exhibition of Digital
Heritage and Preservation, featuring exhibits from, amongst others, the
Universities of Stanford and Venice. The event will provide stimulating
presentations from a broad range of cultural sectors and will give
delegates the opportunity to hear presentations from five leading
figures in the field.
