The Pacific Neighborhood Consortium (PNC)
Annual Conference and Joint Meetings

The Pacific Neighborhood Consortium (PNC) Annual Conference and Joint Meetings is an annual event marking the milestones in the development of technology in support of scholarship. PNC 2003 Conference, organized by the National Electronic Computer Technology Center (NECTEC) and hosted by PNC (under auspice of Academia Sinica, Taiwan), will take place in Thailand, November 7-9, 2003, at the Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Anthropology Centre (SAC) in Bangkok. Members of the PNC are leaders and pioneers in the realms of digital technologies, and the groundbreaking application of these technologies to non-traditional fields such as cultural research. Panel sessions offer presentations on such issues as digital museums, grid technology applied to cultural data, multimedia representations of culture, and many other issues. This year, a workgroup meeting style is introduced to the conference in order to bring together those who shared interest in thematic topics to develop collaborative work of mutual interest. Poster sessions and computer demonstrations offer opportunities to showcase new work and interact with creative scholars and technicians exploring the possibilities of technology. The PNC 2003 is hosted by PNC, NECTEC, and SAC, in collaboration with the Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative (ECAI), United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), and Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO). Each organization will offer its perspective and expertise on the issues of cultural heritage in a digital age. Scholars, technicians, librarians, museum professionals, educators, site managers, and all those working with cultural materials and technology may have an interest in this conference. From the dawn of the Internet Age to the present, the Pacific Neighborhood Consortium (PNC) has brought together those at the cutting edge of technological research for content organization, visualization, discovery, and access, with those who create, preserve, and manage content. We invite your participation. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact PNC Secretariat at emma@gate.sinica.edu.tw
