Dear colleagues,

You are warmly invited to a one day event in Washington D.C., hosted by the
International Image Interoperability Framework community (http://iiif.io/)
and the National Gallery of Art, about the use of images in and across
Cultural Heritage institutions.

The day will focus on how museums, galleries, libraries and archives, or
any online image service, can take advantage of a powerful technical
framework for interoperability between image repositories.  This event will
be valuable for senior leaders, organizational decision makers, repository
and collection managers, software engineers, and anyone interested in
exploring the wide range of use cases that are seamlessly enabled by the
framework.  This event builds on the successes of a similar meeting in
London last October.

The event will be held at the National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C., on
Tuesday May 5th, 2015.

*Please register now on EventBrite* to ensure your part in the discussion:

   * Welcome and introductions
   * Why IIIF?
   * Software and solutions showcase
