About the IIPC Web Archiving Conference 2023
The International Internet Preservation Consortium (IIPC) 2023 Web Archiving Conference (WAC 2023) Program Committee invites you to this year’s conference, hosted May 11-12 at the Netherlands Institute for Sound & Vision in Hilversum, the Netherlands.
WAC 2023 will be co-organized by the Netherlands Institute for Sound & Vision and KB, National Library of the Netherlands. The theme of the conference is ‘Resilience and Renewal’. With the perspective of more than two decades of practice and collaboration, the conference aims to bring practitioners and researchers together to both reflect on the lessons learned and achievements of the international web archiving community; and to share the ideas and innovations necessary for the renewal and future of web archiving practice.
A draft schedule is available on the conference website here (a more detailed schedule will be published in February 2023).
Further details can be found by visiting the conference website at https://netpreserve.org/ga2023/.
