The "conference curator" is a myth. Instead, allow participants to do amazing and generous work by using appropriate participation tools.

For almost 2 years we have been tracking which literature for citations to specific pathways, via their WikiPathways WPID. Results are shown on pathway pages, under "Cited in", e.g. see https://www.wikipathways.org/pathways/WP3947 (and screenshot). This is partly done weekly NCBI Entrez search (not this weekend, tho, bc of their system upgrade), partly manually.
So far we collected 2099 citations from 404 different articles to 795 pathways.

"Not Quite A Game (Games that go beyond the need to be understood)"

"I think maybe language is deeper than words. When you take words away there’s this sense of awe you can find when having to learn how to understand something. You need to meet it on its own terms.
That’s what’s special about digital art."

"I always felt like social media creates an illusion of convenience. Think of how much time it takes to stay on top of things. To stay on top of music or film. Think of how much time it takes these days, how much hunting you have to do. Although technology has made information vast and reachable, it's also turned the entire internet into a sludge pile. And now, instead of relying on professional curators to sort through things for us, now we have to do the sorting."

Non exhaustive list: pretty upcycled notebooks, mixtapes, pyrex vs PYREX, bookbinding, tourism, the tech vignette, pixel art, DIY, a CSS framework, vaccines, the playstacean, a time capsule, a huge troll, biopics, Saturn, ballet and Dwarf Fortress.
Here's why "conference curators"—people who can supposedly create great programs at conferences—are a myth.
