To mark the 25^th anniversary of JPEG 2000, the DPC is hosting a free and open event to recognize the role that this significant standard has played in many digitization and digital preservation projects over the past quarter century.

On 19^th November 2025, 14:00-17:00 UTC, we are inviting members of the digital preservation community to come along and hear about the development of JPEG 2000, learn from organizations that have implemented it in their work and the challenges they faced, and to discuss what might come next.

If you have used JPEG 2000 we would love to hear from you! We welcome offers of case studies and exemplars from any sector, about work past, present, or future. We want to hear your views on the pros and cons of using JPEG 2000, and how it has shaped your thinking and practice.

If you would like to offer a short presentation (up to 20 minutes) about your work and experience of using JPEG 2000, please send a short description to michael.popham@dpconline.org by 24^th October.

This event will be a community-led forum for discussion of JPEG 2000, its uses and impact. Please note that presentations of commercial solutions and product demonstrations are unlikely to be appropriate for this event.

The programme for this event will be made available here and circulated via our usual channels in early November. But in the meantime, remember to save the date in your calendar: 19^th November 2025, 14:00-17:00 UTC
