Calling all technical whisk-takers; the iPRES 2026 Ad Hoc Programme is now open! There are several categories available in the AdHoc programme, including The Great Digital Preservation Bake Off, which returns to iPRES 2026 (September 21-25 in Copenhagen). Whether you're a seasoned baker or a first-timer, we want to see your tools in action. This year, we are recruiting for two tracks: the Signature Home Bake and the Showstopper Pro Bake. Participants will demonstrate how their tools address real-world challenges in digital preservation. Both seasoned and emerging tool developers have the opportunity to serve up and demonstrate the value and effectiveness of their digital preservation tools in a short, timed presentation. Please note that there is no actual baking at the Bake Off.
