A friendly reminder that the Great Digital Preservation Bake Off demonstrations must be submitted by June 8, EOB.
The Great Digital Preservation Bake Off returns to the annual iPRES conference, and the kitchen is officially open for submissions. If you have a digital preservation tool, script, workflow, or workaround you're proud of, this is your moment. The Bake Off is a live tool demonstration session — no slides, no sales pitches, just you, your tool, and a shared dataset. Ten minutes. Make it count.
This year's menu features two tracks:
-
The Signature Home Bake — Some of the best baking happens outside professional kitchens. This challenge is for practitioners whose main job isn't software development but who've baked up a script, small tool, or clever workaround to solve a real problem in their work. Homemade doesn't mean second-best; it means built with purpose, tested in the real world, and seasoned with hard-won experience. Bring your best bake.
-
The Showstopper Pro Bake — This is the professional showcase, a chance for software developers and vendors to present a single, focused demonstration of a tool, feature, or workflow from their product. Not a full menu, not a sales pitch: one showstopper item, plated with precision and presented with craft. Make every minute count.
You'll find more information on the conference website. Submissions close 8 June 2026, End of Day, Anywhere on Earth. Questions? Email Micky.Lindlar@tib.eu.
