[Bessig] International Data Week - Early Bird registration ends August 8

[Yarmey, Lynn Rees]

Hello post-BESSIG folks!

Since we can’t have BESSIG beer at the moment, why don’t you come down to Denver and have a beer at International Data Week??  The programs have been posted and it would be great to see you all – minimal travel required!

BESSIG is dead. Long live BESSIG!

International Data Week is the historic co-location of three critical data communities - the World Data System, CODATA, and the Research Data Alliance will all be meeting in Denver, CO, USA from September 11 - 17. Join colleagues from around the world for SciDataCon, the International Data Forum, and the Research Data Alliance’s 8th Plenary Meeting, and sign up soon! The early bird reduced registration rates for all three meetings ends soon on Monday, August 8.  Please register today at internationaldataweek.org.

While visiting internationaldataweek.org<http://internationaldataweek.org/>, take a few moments to check out the latest updates to the website:

·         RDA’s 8th Plenary Program<https://rd-alliance.org/plenaries/rda-eighth-plenary-meeting-denver-co/programme>, with details on breakout sessions, plenary talks and panel discussions
·         The Agenda for the International Data Forum<http://www.internationaldataweek.org/International-data-forum>, which features an impressive international cohort of keynote speakers and panelists

·         Our newest sponsors, including Purdue University Libraries and the Sloan Foundation!  (It’s also not too late to become a sponsor…learn more here<http://www.internationaldataweek.org/content/sponsorship-opportunities>)


Again, register by August 8 and receive the early bird registration discount for RDA’s 8th Plenary Meeting, SciDataCon and the International Data Forum.  To guarantee your lodging, the IDW room block at the Sheraton Denver Downtown ends on August 26.  As we anticipate the blocked rooms to sell out and hotel rates to increase closer to September due to other local events, we encourage you to make your hotel reservations as soon as possible.

We look forward to seeing you in Colorado!
