DigitalHeritage Expo is the exhibition of Digital Heritage, open to the conference attendees, but also to external participants, including decision makers, professionals and citizens. It is a “scientific” exhibition because exhibits are selected after a call and a peer review evaluation made by experts, scientists and artists, in the domain. The expo is meant to offer a physical space where professionals, scientists and also citizens can meet, debate and be inspired by digital ideas applied to Cultural Heritage. The upcoming edition is chaired by Sarah Kenderdine (EPFL) and Daniele Ferdani (CNR ISPC) and it will be supported by BMTA’s Archeovirtual and PERCEIVE, organised by CNR ISPC and University of Siena. In its previous editions, the Expo has attracted over 5,000 visitors, with more than 100 projects, installations and demonstrations coming from all over the world and organised around specific themes. In each edition, a Call4Expo has identified distinct categories, highlighting innovation across multiple sectors.
