Extending our Reach, Reassessing our Impact, and Reimagining our Role

Conference registration is FREE and open to individuals over the age of 13.Having recently marked the 175th anniversary of the Smithsonian Institution, we celebrate our past knowing that our present is at a turning point. The pandemic has tested us individually and as a society, bringing issues such as race and inclusion, social injustice, and the sustainability of the planet into high relief.It is unclear how cultural institutions will address these issues. Our interactions and outreach over the last year have been mediated solely through the lens of digital technology, and we continue to learn, explore, and assess how best to use this technology to create effective change. The 2022 Smithsonian Digitization Conference will focus on the role digital experiences will have in how the Smithsonian and other cultural, research and educational institutions can extend our reach, reassess our impact, and reimagine our role in the world that emerges from the pandemic.All sessions will have live captioning in real time. If you will need additional accessibility accommodations, please contact us at sidigi2022@si.edu by March 1, 2022.
