We strongly encourage panel/presentation sessions that address topics from multiple perspectives and institutions.

Proposals should address the target audience, an explanation of hands-on/interactive components, and the learning objectives and outcomes for attendees to come away with a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical skills that can be applied to the field of archives.
