The PIDfest Steering Committee Is Now Accepting Expressions of Interest (EoIs).
Submission Requested By October 7, 2024
The call for submitting Expressions of Interest (EoIs) to organize the #PIDfest 2026 conference is now open! Turn in yours by Oct 7, 2024, to host this international event on all things #PIDs & how they are critical to #OpenResearch infrastructure: https://t.co/aPiBUF3tTh
PIDfest Prague in June 2024 drew 175 onsite registrations and another 100 online, however the demand for onsite registrations was far higher than the venue capacity. Therefore candidate institutions must have the ability to organise and host a multi-day conference with up to 250 in-person attendees and the ability to stream at least the main plenary sessions. This includes appropriate access to conference facilities, lodging, and transportation, as well as the ability to manage a range of supporting services (food services, internet services, and conference social events; management of registration and online payments; etc.). The candidate institutions and their local arrangements committee must have the means to support the costs of producing the conference through attendee registration and sponsorship fundraising.
