The Symbiota Support Hub participated in iDigBio’s BioDigiCon, September 27-29, 2022.
In case you missed it: iDigBio’s annual Summit has been rebranded as the Biodiversity Digitization Conference, a virtual meeting intended to be more hands-on and inclusive to encourage workforce training. In September 2022, iDigBio hosted the first virtual “BioDigiCon” for hundreds of attendees from around the world, and the Symbiota Support Hub contributed to five sessions over the course of the week. Topics included:
- Digital Extended Specimen in Symbiota
- Digitization Workflows in Symbiota Portals
- Solutions for Long-term Image Storage and Accessibility
- Sustaining Institutional Digitization of Biodiversity Collections
- Symbiota Overview: Managing and Mobilizing Biodiversity Data and Supporting Data Providers
