The theme of this year's conference is "Emergence." For staff working with digital collections, what are the challenges and opportunities that emerged during the pandemic? How are they still impacting your work? Did you begin a new project or initiative that is now flourishing? What has changed in your work and how are you balancing maintaining core programs with the new? Join your colleagues as we explore and discuss these questions.

More About the MN+ Digital Collections Conference
The MN+ Digital Collections Conference (MN+DCC) grew out of the long-standing Upper Midwest Digital Collections Conference (UMDCC). As in 2020, the 2022 conference includes the Minnesota Digital Library annual meeting. MN+DCC provides opportunities for digital collections creators and curators in the region and beyond to network, share best practices, participate in hands-on workshops, and learn from leaders in digital cultural heritage.
Minitex staff, along with a regional planning committee, are the primary organizers of the MN+ Digital Collections Conference.
