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.
