The 19^th edition of the International Digital Curation Conference (IDCC25) organised by the Digital Curation Centre is just one month away, taking place in The Hague, the Netherlands between 17-19 February 2025.

The main theme of IDCC this year is Twenty years back, twenty years forward: lessons and directions in digital curation. IDCC will be offered as a hybrid conference for the second year, with access to the conference for both in-person and virtual attendees.

The DPC is owned by and accountable to its members so each January we invite nominations to the Executive Board which is responsible for corporate oversight, and we seek volunteers for the Sub-Committees who review and guide our work. 

We will hold a drop in session for prospective Sub-Committee members at 1400-1430 (GMT) on Friday 17^th January for anyone interested in finding out more.

The Sub-Committees ensure DPC’s plans and activities are tightly coupled to members’ needs. Care is taken to ensure that the Sub-Committees are diverse, so colleagues at all points in their careers, across all the parts of the Coalition and across all sectors and agencies are encouraged to step forward. Our Sub-Committees meet quarterly for around two hours, receiving reports about the DPC's work in specific areas, and reviewing plans for upcoming or new initiatives. The Sub-Committees also filter and review grant applications and new or additional activities that arise throughout the year. Each one is facilitated by a DPC staff member.

Members of the Digital Preservation Community are invited to attend a Digital Preservation Games Event online on the 16th of January from 6-8pm. It is completely free and open to all who wish to learn about digital preservation. Participants may bring their own digital preservation games but this is not mandatory to come along!
