The Screening the Future conference serves the global community of
stakeholders who keep audiovisual content alive. This annual international
conference brings together more than 250 leading archivists, production
companies, filmmakers, TV producers, CTOs, scientists, vendors, strategists,
funders and policy makers, developing solutions to the most urgent questions
facing audiovisual repositories.

With Play, Pause and Press Forward as this year's theme, the conference
explores the main challenges that audiovisual archives and producers face in
terms of IT, institutional position, and changes in use and market and their
future readiness. Screening the Future also includes a full day of Master
Classes where you'll spend focused time with experts and other delegates on
a specific key topic.

The conference takes place from May 21-23, 2012 at USC Ronald Tutor Campus
Center, Los Angeles, USA.

Screening the Future 2012 is organized by the PrestoCentre Foundation in

[attachment] Screening the Future 2012 - flyer.pdf (2 MB)

While I appreciate receiving announcements of programs to attend and other 
messages, I'm less enthousiastic about receiving large e-mail attachments. I'm 
no longer on dial-up (thankfully), but I do know people who are, and trying to 
retrieve e-mail for several hours is not a pleasant experience. Plus, since I 
try to save the majority of my mail in case I need it at some point in the 
future, I often run close to the maximum storage limit for my account, so a 
large attachment could easily put me over the limit, hindering receipt of 
additional e-mails. If the information is available in the body of the message 
as well as at a link provided in the body, why is it necessary to include a 
large attachment as well?

(p.s. I apologize for sounding harsh. In other words, I long for the days of 
plain-text-only discussion lists.)

Thank you,
