Photos from the Madrid AGM

May 25 and 26 saw a very successful and enjoyable DLM Forum members' meeting and AGM, hosted by the Spanish Ministry of Culture in Madrid.

Participants enjoyed wonderful summery weather (apparently it was arranged especially by the ministry!) with a record attendance from member organisations.  The two days of the conference were punctuated by a reception in the city centre, kindly arranged by the Spanish hosts, and attendees were able to stay on in Madrid afterwards and sample the delights of the busy city night life.

By contrast the meeting itself was all business, with some excellent presentations and good participation from the floor.  The full programme is available from the downloads page, and the presentations will be posted to the website soon.  Below are a few photographs taken at the event.

Day 1: Ágnes Korotij, a researcher with KOVEX-Computer, speaks about the applicability of MoReq2 recordkeeping to biobanks
