Hello,
On behalf of the Islandora Foundation, we invite submission of proposals for IslandoraCon 2025, taking place in person and online July 14-17, 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada on the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The conference will be hybrid, with options to present and attend online. The extended deadline for submissions is February 28, 2025.
The theme of IslandoraCon 2025 is: All in on Islandora. The full Call for Proposals and additional IslandoraCon 2025 information is on our conference website. We will be updating the website with additional information about registration and other conference details in the coming weeks.
IslandoraCon brings together a community of librarians, archivists, cultural heritage collections managers, technologists, developers, project managers, and open source project enthusiasts in support of the Islandora framework for digital curation and asset management.
We welcome proposals on a wide range of topics related to managing collections with Islandora, developing Drupal modules and software support for Islandora, and Islandora community initiatives and interests. These may include:
Digital accessibility
Workflows, policies, and training
Multimedia viewers and displays
Institutional repository requirements, migrations and integrations
Metadata
Documentation
User testing
Bots, site performance, and security
Drupal versions, updates, modules, and potential integrations
Islandora architecture and affordances
Digital preservation workflows and integrations
Digital exhibits
Assessment and metrics
We anticipate having a variety of session formats, including lightning talks (5 minutes), individual presentations, panel discussions, and longer workshops, training, or troubleshooting sessions. Sessions will be 25 or 50 minutes, which includes time for questions. The planning committee is open to additional suggestions for session formats – in your proposal, please indicate what kind of format you think will best fit your topic and presenters. This will be a hybrid conference; all sessions will be streamed and/or recorded.
If you have an idea for a session and are looking for co-organizers or co-presenters, please post in the IslandoraCon 2025 Slack channel!
