I'm very pleased to be able to share this announcement with CNI-announce readers. This will be the first time that the International Data Curation Conference has been held in the United States. I was fortunate to be able to participate in both the first meeting (in Bath, 2005) and the second meeting (in Glasgow, 2006) -- both were outstanding, and you can find information on them here:

Below is the full announcement for the third meeting.
