The agenda for the PASIG Karlsruhe, September 16-18, is below. Please note that the Early Bird Special price of 210 euros expires on July 20! Registration and hotel information is listed immediately below. We suggest you make your registrations and hotel bookings soon in that hotel rooms are sometimes scarce in Karlsruhe.

We would like to thank our host, FIZ Karlsruhe, the program committee members, and the sponsors; Oracle, Cray Research, P&A Consult, and Preservica.

The free PASIG Storage Technology 101 one-half day sponsored by Oracle on the morning of September 16 and the separate Research Data Management Conference starting on September 15 are also accessible on the same PASIG registration site. Immediately below is the summary agenda followed by the detailed PASIG program.

Per input from past PASIG meetings, we have built the program around panels to keep the flow fast-paced and interactive. We have also set up two Lightning Round Sessions for five minute presentation slots. Participants can request one of these before or at the event.
