DPC Members Forum and Networking Event - Australasia/Asia-Pacific

We are delighted to invite DPC Members from Australasia and Asia-Pacific to attend a DPC Members Forum and Networking Event in Wellington, New Zealand and Sydney, Australia!

Exclusively for DPC Members, our 2025 event will take place over two separate days, two cities, and two countries! Day 1 will take place alongside the iPRES 2025 conference in Wellington, New Zealand on Friday 7th November, and Day 2 will take place a week later, on Friday 14th November in Sydney, Australia. 

In addition to meeting and networking with other members of the Coalition, we will have an exciting program of fast-paced member led talks and discussions, giving DPC Members the opportunity to take the floor and exchange ideas, showcase work and discuss key themes.

How does the DPC Member Forum work?

Offer to lead a session

Whether you have a task you want to work on with others, a fresh idea or solution you want to demo, or topics you want to discuss to learn from others’ experience, this part of the program provides a space for DPC Members to achieve all of this. Please share your suggestions for member-led sessions and, from these, we will create an event program for you to make the most of the Coalition’s collective digital preservation expertise. 

Each session will offer approximately 45 minutes for you to either:

• Discuss: Pick the collective digital preservation hive mind and start a discussion about a topic

• Learn: Demonstrate and share solutions or workflows so that others can learn from your experiences.

• Share: Show and tell presentations of recent work, new ideas and achievements (or failures)

• Play: Share and lead a digital preservation games session!

Registration

Registration for this event will open later in 2025.
