DWeb Camp Proposals:
What Comes Next?
Thank you to everyone who sent in a proposal. We’re working through almost 200 proposals and aiming to get back to everyone about their proposals by July 26. We hope to accommodate as many sessions as possible but with limited time slots available, it might be necessary to merge proposals. To streamline the process and create a more impactful event, we strongly encourage facilitators with similar ideas to collaborate with each other. After your proposed talk or workshop is confirmed, we will be in touch to make sure we can accommodate your space and logistical requirements then it will be listed in the schedule. If you have any questions, attend one of our pre-camp meetups or email us at dwebcamp@archive.org.
