Will have to keep it on the radar for next year. ArchivesGeekFest ended up being a great success. It's already scheduled to be part of next year's ACA conference and hopefully will become a permanent feature. The PowerPoint Kareoke was certainly the highlight. I also enjoyed the opportunity to speak freely and frankly about Archives IT projects, what works, what doesn't, etc. with a group of like-minded peers. The conversation moved freely during and after presentations and jumped around from online finding aids to corporate ERDMS to computer installation art.
