The SEI 2026 Schedule
Recording policy
SEI 2026 is a live event, delivered remotely over Zoom, and all workshops will be taught synchronously (some technical demonstrations or individual workshop components may be pre-recorded). SEI attendees are expected to participate fully in scheduled events, but may request to view recordings of sessions if they must miss a session. If the request is approved, the recording will be accompanied by a transcript generated by automatic speech recognition.
Note: All times are Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). Participants must have access to a computer or tablet capable of running Zoom.
We will be adding an optional social event to the schedule for SEI 2026 later this spring.
The 2026 Ethical Digital Stewardship Keynote will also be announced later this spring.

Keynote: Ethical Digital Stewardship
Lisa Spiro and Justin Wadland
This talk encourages art librarians, curators, and any other professional that steward digital materials to bring an awareness of climate change to their work. As co-facilitators of the Digital Library Federation Climate Justice Working Group, we will share our efforts to build a community of colleagues who seek to take action as a collective and within their institutions. We offer insights from work we have done at our home institutions and will close with an opportunity for participants to begin to identify a path toward climate wayfinding in their professional practice.
