.

*Why attend?*

   - Learn how to assess, analyse and preserve your digital data
   - Find out about different digital forensic tools and techniques, and
   how to apply them
   - Work with some of the leading experts and developers in the field
   - Discover how other organisations are working with digital forensics
   tools through practical use cases
   - Contribute your ideas and experience to the group, and help to build
   the knowledge base of 'Digital Preservation and Data Curation Requirements
   and Solutions' (
   http://wiki.opf-labs.org/display/REQ/Digital+Preservation+and+Data+Curation+Requirements+and+Solutions
   )

The best way of learning practical preservation skills is by getting
hands-on experience of actually doing it. By the end of the event you'll
have solved some preservation challenges, learnt new skills you can take
back to the office/library/archive, and will have become part of a
supportive digital preservation community. Take a look at this recent blog
from Bram van der Werf, Executive Director of the OPF, about the importance
of hackathons:

.

When asked what they liked best about previous hackathons, attendees said:
*"It was very good to see the practical aspect of getting things done,
rather than just theorising"*
*"The discussion sessions were really useful. The speakers and facilitators
were really passionate about their work"*
*"I liked the goal-oriented sharing of issues and contexts, and the instant
write-up in the wiki"*
