The Information Technology age has facilitated many important changes in the field of cultural heritage and continues to offer itself as a dynamic and exciting medium through which new possibilities perpetually emerge. This wave of change has had particularly significant consequences in the field of the Performing Arts, where a vast array of possibilities for digital content fruition continue to reveal themselves, constantly opening the doors to new and as-yet-unexplored synergies. Many technological developments concerning digital libraries, media entertainment and education are now fully developed and ready to be exported, applied, utilized and cultivated by the public. The ECLAP conference is open to researchers, professionals, industries, institutions, technicians, practitioners in the area of performing arts and information technologies, media entertainment, technology enhanced learning, intelligent media systems, acoustic systems, cultural heritage, and many others. The ECLAP conference aims to function as a forum in which progress-oriented individuals and institutions within the aforementioned fields can find a place to collaborate and present results Each exhibition section of the event offers settings (booth and tables) to host demonstrators. Demo and poster sessions will be also organized. The ECLAP 2012 conference has confirmed a keynote-speaker lineup consisting of some of the most salient voices in the field and is currently looking to put together a set of workshops, sessions and panels that will conform to our standard of excellence. The conference will be constituted of selected top-level papers/proposals, which will be published in the proceedings by the Florence University Press, complete with ISBN, and promoted in the most relevant indexing engines.
