Schedule (still under development)
We are in the process of developing still refining the agenda and recruiting presenters for the Community 24x7. This has traditionally been a fairly informal meeting with lots of opportunity for networking with other DSpace users. We highly recommend that if possible you plan to allow time after the session to go to lunch and continue small group conversations around specific areas of interest.
