The IASA 46th Annual Conference will be held at the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris, from 27 September - 1 October 2015. Details will be available soon.

The 2015 FIAT/IFTA World Conference will take place in Vienna from October 7th until October 10th 2015. This year theme will be: “Audiovisual Culture, a bridge to the future” Audiovisual Culture is in all places and activities; and our society uses and generates an increasing number of content. The more audiovisual archives interact with society and internet, the more questions arise on how to advance, which decisions to take and how to maintain the spirit of archiving in an ever-changing environment.

As the Presto4U project comes to an end (Dec 2014) we are bringing universities and research institutions together to offer them some free training in audiovisual digital preservation. Organised by the Department of Digital Humanities at King’s College London in collaboration with the University of Venice IUAV and Italian broadcaster RAI, ‘Future-proof AV content for education and research’ will take place in Venice (Italy) over 2 half days (6-7 November 2014).

Welcome to Archiving Tomorrow 2015 in association with FOCAL International and hosted by The Kaleidoscope Archive. The conference is to bring together Archivists, Curators, Academics, Film Makers, Owners of Small & Specialised Collections of Audio Visual Materials, Editors, Producers, Directors, Technologists, Industry, Researchers and Archives of all size and form, to discuss, debate and learn about the in-depth revolution that is the transitional period between Film and Digital.
