Kia ora koutou / Dear all:

We are pleased to announce the Call for the iPRES 2025 Ad Hoc Programme<https://www.ipres2025.nz/post/ad-hoc-submissions-what-you-need-to-know> is now open!

Lightning talks, digital preservation games, Birds of a Feather (BoF) discussion sessions  – once again iPRES offers exciting submission categories beyond the traditional paper, panel, poster, workshop, and tutorial submissions. They offer a flexible and informal way to share your ideas, projects, and insights with the iPRES community without the need to submit a full paper.

There are several categories in the Ad Hoc Programme:

  *   Lightning Talks
  *   Games
  *   Birds of Feather (BoF) discussion sessions
  *   Suggest your own activity!

Ad Hoc sessions are lightly reviewed by the Programme Committee Chairs. Submission is via a simple form, rather than the submission portal, and ad hoc abstracts are not published in the proceedings. Contributors will receive final notification of acceptance by 25 July 2025.

Submit your Ad Hoc contribution here: https://forms.gle/MzbEbo4k9Gbbrbdq7

The deadline for submitting Ad Hoc session proposals is 18 July 2025, End of Day, Anywhere on Earth.

If you have any questions regarding the Ad Hoc programme, please contact [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>. There will be a separate call for participation in the Digital Preservation Bake Off (Tools Demonstration).

*This content may be shared with multiple lists*
