Subject: PSI Group meeting + ePSI Conference - update 4

Dear Malte, dear Juan,

 

Please find below the next update on the Conference and the PSI Group meeting.

 

A. PSI Group meeting

 

1.       Malte, thanks for the last version of the agenda and invitation. I checked again and Ms Louwes is delighted to provide a word of welcome.

2.       As to the logistics, the rooms have been booked. Your event manager will be Ms Judith Roodmans. Contact details will follow shortly. I will visit de Doelen and Ms Roodmans a week before the conference, to walk through the PSI Group meeting and the Conference, so if you have any concrete questions, please let me know.

3.       Where most of the confirmations of the speakers have come in now, I see that there is a lot of enthusiasm to participate in the evening before dinner. The group would consist of:

a.       ePSI team + AB board and sectoral experts - 15 people

b.      speakers – possibly around 40 people

c.       PSI Group and EC representatives – would you be able to make an assessment how many people would be interested in participating, so that I can look for a (spacious) restaurant. Also, how would you like to communicate this?

 

B. Conference

 

1.       I have updated the program, you will find it attached.

a.       90% of the speakers have confirmed and 100% of the moderators. Confirmed speakers are in bold, pending ones in italic. 

b.      Unfortunately, Mr Aboutaleb, the mayor of Rotterdam can not make it (there is a council meeting on Friday morning which he needs to chair). However, Ms Louwes has confirmed to take his place.

c.       I am happy to upload this version on the website, although there are still some invitations pending, so it still needs to be ‘provisional and subject to change’. 

d.      As you can see, I have made the changes you suggested in your earlier email:

-          I was delighted to list Richard for both plenary 1 and Track G. The latter, I have changed the title, so it is now called simply ‘re-use of Cultural Heritage Information’. Where most of the other participants for plenary 1 will be present at the evening before dinner, it is my suggestion to organize a short briefing right after the PSI-Group meeting.

-          The presentation on the launch of call for a thematic network has been taken out, giving us sufficient time for plenary 1 and plenary 2.

-          We have invited Ms Boulanger for the track H on Privacy and Open Data, leaving out the reference to the legal instruments. We have not received a confirmation from Ms Boulanger or one of her colleagues, but we will do our best.

2.       280 people have now signed up, more than 100 is non-Dutch. The minimize no-shows, we will contact those registered via email in the next week, providing them with the updated program and further appetizers.

3.       As to Ms Kroes’ video message, could you please let me know how we can best organize this?

 

If you would like to discuss any issues, please let me know, so we can organize a chat.

 

Regards,

Marc
