FAQ and event details

The “unconference” format of CURATEcamp encourages attendees to identify and discuss the issues they care about the most, leading to progress on solving real problems in our workflows. There are no spectators at CURATEcamp. All attendees are expected to give a demo, present a talk, drive a discussion, or participate in a panel or roundtable. Rather than talking in hypotheticals or giving broad workflow overviews, this CURATEcamp will focus on specific, granular knowledge that is gained through experience.
