The 2027 International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) Online Meeting will be held January 26-28, 2027. The event organizers are looking for proposals that center around the theme, “Working and Learning,” as an opportunity to showcase new and innovative IIIF projects, implementations, developments, and tools, as well as to learn new skills. From the call:
Lightning Talks: We encourage showcasing developments in IIIF and in particular would welcome presentations in the following areas:
- IIIF implementations featuring unique or uncommon collections
- Using IIIF material for Machine Learning and AI
- Implementations of IIIF outside of North America/Europe
- IIIF in the classroom
- Annotation use cases
Tool Demos: Have a new IIIF tool? Have you built something for personal use that you want to share with the community? Looking for feedback on a project in progress? This is your opportunity to show off your work with a brief (5-7 minutes) demo.
Workshops: Workshop submissions must have an abstract, a proposed outline schedule, and desired outcomes (e.g., “at this end of this session, participants will be able to place IIIF manifests on a web map”, or “at the end of this session, participants will be able to use IIIF manifests to create guided storytelling exhibitions”). This year, we are seeking workshop proposals aimed at end users, researchers, and educators as well as workshops for experienced IIIF practitioners.
Proposal submissions will be accepted through November 3, 2026 via google form.
