Organization
The event will take place at the Getty Center, in spaces suitable for plenary sessions, breakouts, and informal conversation. The idea is to use some aspects of unconference planning so that the participants can create the agenda dynamically. Of course we have specific topics in mind, and will use the opportunity to have participants present on their unique areas of expertise.
