iPRES Radio 2025

Whether you are attending iPRES 2025 virtually, or you are simply curious about the latest in digital preservation, iPRES Radio provides a front-row seat to the global conversation happening in Wellington this year.

Running daily from Monday 3 to Friday 7 November 2025, alongside the iPRES 2025 Conference, iPRES Radio is a relaxed, one-hour online session hosted via Zoom, and it is open to everyone—no registration for the main conference is required. It is a chance to connect, reflect and engage with the iPRES community, wherever you are in the world.

What is iPRES Radio?
