I've been asked by the PIDapalooza team, to forward this:

PIDs’R’Us and if they’re you, too, please join us for the second PIDapalooza https://pidapalooza.org/ in Girona, Spain on January 23-24, for a two-day celebration of persistent identifiers. Together, we will do the impossible - make a meeting about persistent identifiers and networked research fun!

Brought to you by California Digital Library, Crossref, DataCite, and ORCID, this year’s sessions are organized around eight broad topics:

-

PID myths -

Achieving persistence -

PIDs for emerging uses -

Legacy PIDs -

Bridging worlds -

PIDagogy -

PID stories -

Kinds of persistence

The program https://pidapalooza18.sched.com/ is close to final and there’s something for everyone - from Do Researchers Need to Care about PID Systems? https://pidapalooza18.sched.com/event/Cwmj/do-researchers-need-to-care-about-pid-systems to Stories from the PID Roadies: Scholix https://pidapalooza18.sched.com/event/Cwml/stories-from-the-pid-roadies-scholix; and from The Bollockschain and other PID Hallucinations https://pidapalooza18.sched.com/event/CwnA/the-bollockschain-and-other-pid-hallucinations to #ResInfoCitizenshipIs? https://pidapalooza18.sched.com/event/Cwmk/resinfocitizenshipis# There will also be plenaries by Johanna McEntyre http://orcid.org/0000-0002-1611-6935 on As a [biologist] I want to [reuse and remix data] so that I can [do my research] https://pidapalooza18.sched.com/event/CwnI/as-a-biologist-i-want-to-reuse-and-remix-data-so-that-i-can-do-my-research and Melissa Haendel https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9114-8737 (title to be confirmed).
