Thanks for the opportunity, Gary! We hope there will be a lot of interest, and would be glad to answer any questions posted to these forums as well.

At least two of us from Quantified Self have registered already. Thinking about making a proposal on some topics of personal interest connecting QS and archiving, if I can get them into good enough focus. I encourage other QS folks to go!

I have quite a large personal digital archive of my life already, which I am eager to show at the conference. But flying to LA from the Netherlands is kind of expensive (to me). Are there any opportunities to cover travel expenses?

That would be amazing if you came. You should contact the organizers! It’s a relatively small academic conference so I don’t think they have too much money, but you never know.

We really appreciate your interest! Unfortunately we don’t have funds available to support speaker or attendee travel expenses for the conference.
