CFParticipation: The Future of Crowdsourcing

The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) invite “interested members of the public” to participate in a discussion on the future of crowdsourcing, to take place May 6-8, 2015. “Engaging the Public: Best Practices in Crowdsourcing across the Disciplines” will “bring together by invitation over 60 stakeholders from the humanities, sciences, and cultural heritage domains to share their experiences managing digital projects that invite contributions from virtual volunteers.”

Selected presentations will be livestreamed and tweeted using the hashtag #crowdcon.
