Icon Photographic Materials Group : Call for Papers Lightning Talks 2025
The call of interest is open until Friday, 21st of November.
Wednesday 10th December 2025, 10 am - 1 pm GMT
The Icon Photographic Material Group is bringing back the Lighting Talks to close the year. The format will be online, and presenters will have five minutes to share their topics. As is customary, there will be space afterwards for questions and ponderings. As always, the event is open to anyone with an interest in the care and preservation of photographic materials.
We invite you to submit a titled abstract (c.100 words) with your name, affiliation and time zone and/or location to [email protected] by Friday, 21st of November.
Subject summiting can range from treatment practices, preventive conservation, scientific research, education, outreach and funding, but is not limited to these topics. We encourage you to present outside this scope if your topic doesn't fit any of these categories but is related to the conservation of photographic materials.
The 5-minute presentations should include around five PowerPoint slides, which should be illustrative rather than textual.
Please contact us via email at [email protected] as soon as possible for further details or to discuss your idea.
