Greetings Taxacom,

RE: TaxonWorks Together 2024 - You're Invited - May 7 - 9

Agenda and to register, see https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftogether.taxonworks.org%2F&data=05%7C02%7Ctaxacom%40lists.ku.edu%7C22f7b70e7585423b8eed08dc6315e6c4%7C3c176536afe643f5b96636feabbe3c1a%7C0%7C0%7C638494192910516142%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=HbHmUxM4Mx95ddLUS7gurWSDNmufZO6d0mA7Az%2B2lnA%3D&reserved=0

Bring your perspectives on how to "Describe Life" to the 5th annual 
event on TaxonWorks, its community, and the broader world of 
biodiversity informatics.  Check out the agenda to see our guests (from 
aggregators to researchers to data and collection managers, developers 
and you).

Some key session topics to pique your particular interests:

  * Growing Taxonomic Communities
  * Your TaxonWorks Adventure Begins (Demos and Tours)
  * Vision: Integrating the TaxonWorks Experience Into a Taxonomy Course
  *  From Plazi to TaxonWorks
  * Everyone Can Develop: contributing to and using community-centric
    open-source endeavours
  * Our New and Experienced TaxonWorks Adopters Share Their Experiences
  * Geospatial tools in biodiversity informatics, an open discussion on
    where we might head
  * Balancing Global Agency and Local Precision. Roundtrip your feedback.
      o If you think about the extended specimen and wonder how we can
        help collections and individuals get recognized for their
        efforts, if you wonder about your agency, please check out this
        session. 
  * Managing Natural History Collections in TaxonWorks: Perspectives,
    Tips, and Highlights of New Digitization Workflows
      o Hear from those actively managing their collections and
        publishing their data using TaxonWorks 
  * A (Biodiversity) Data Quality Round Table Conversation
      o  From data quality (e. g. completeness, consistency,
        compliance), to data management, expect an in-depth congenial
        local-to-global conversation. From the data aggregator, to the
        working group, the researcher, the collection / data manager,
        and the data analyst, what do we each experience, what do we
        dream of? How is data-quality an outcome of processes? Looking
        for alignment opportunities and ways to/realize the extended
        specimen/. 

Some activities will be highly-guided, some information style, and some 
unconference style. Zoom space may be limited, please don't wait! 
Questions welcome.
