Last year, IASA’s 2020 virtual conference successfully provided us with a wide range of experiences and new ways of interacting as a professional community. Although we all missed having a face-to-face meeting, we realized that to a great extent we can continue online to exchange ideas, projects and create new expectations for sound and audiovisual archives.
Given the ongoing uncertainties over international travel, this year IASA’s conference will again be held online, from 27th to 30th September 2021.
We want to transform the current limitations into an opportunity to virtually expand IASA`s presence in the world. So, this year we will introduce a new innovation: we plan to hold a series of daily sessions corresponding to three time zones and three local host institutions, that match our global presence. This ensures that everyone can participate, whatever the time zone in their home nation.
A call for papers and participation will be announced soon.
Be part of our international community of sound and audiovisual archivists!
