iPRES has become the premier international conference on digital preservation since its inception in 2004. With iPRES 2025 set to take place in Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand, and iPRES 2026 in København, Denmark, we are looking forward to continuing this global journey.

• 2027: the Americas
• 2028: Asia, Pacific, or Australasia (APAC)
• 2029: Europe, Middle East, or Africa (EMEA)
• Our preferences are for guidance and may adapt them to ensure the best outcome
• Informal expressions of interest are welcome by December 1, 2024
• Final bid submission deadline: July 1, 2025, at 12:00 PM GMT
• Prospective hosts for 2027 are invited to submit as soon as their bid is available with a view to an early decision, based on the same criteria and the same process.
