"There is always such a great atmosphere at IDCC with such an engaged and passionate audience. It was great to present and talk with the digital curation community through our workshop and poster sessions. Huge thanks to the DCC for working so hard and putting on such a great event!" - Cerys W.

Modern research workflows rely on many software tools and file formats, but interoperability remains a persistent challenge. Export formats from one tool often don’t align with another’s import requirements, and existing conversion options can be slow, opaque, and error-prone.

If you haven’t had a chance to register yet, there’s still time to secure your spot. We’ll be diving into how Samuel Munday and the team use AI and computer vision to rescue "dark data" from static PDFs and lab notebooks, turning them into high-value, AI-ready research assets. Register: t.ly/YBZW5
