Event structure
The event is an in-person meeting only, not hybrid.
The event is hosted at the Millennium Gallery and will begin on June 8th at 12:00 and conclude on June 10th at 16:00.
The formal agenda is still being finalised using submissions from the call for proposals form, and topics that have been raised separately. Once the deadline has passed, we will produce the final agenda.
While we don't have the final agenda, we expect talks on Arches 8.1, Lingo 1.0, and Arches core applications/modules.
Knowledge Integration are also hosting an extension to the meeting to give developers additional time to engage in a hackathon and to discuss any issues, features and follow-ups from the conference. This will be held at the Kelham Island Museum on the 11th, and at the Knowledge Integration offices for the morning of the 12th.
