2012 Pacific Neighborhood Consortium Annual Conference and Joint Meetings
Hosted by the Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative (ECAI), the Pacific Neighborhood Consortium (PNC), and the School of Information
This year, the PNC 2012 Annual Conference and Joint Meetings will provide an opportunity for global communities to gather up and further explore the cutting-edge trends in information technology. With the vision of creating a virtual library of cultural information through a time and place interface, this year’s conference focuses on issues of supporting collaboration and shared knowledge.
The main theme is “New Horizons: Information Technology Connecting Culture, Community, Time, and Place.”
In addition, a one-day workshop, From Space to Place, is being hosted in conjunction with PNC 2012 on December 9th. From Space to Place, Berkeley 2012, is the fifth in a series of multidisciplinary workshops exploring remote sensing, archaeology, anthropology, and history.
