Great News: The Call for Proposals Deadline Has Been Extended!
If you need more time to develop your idea for VRA 2025, you’re in luck! The deadline for submissions has been extended to Monday, April 7, 2025, at 11:59 pm PDT.
This year’s Annual Conference will be held at the Porter Hotel in Portland, OR, October 7–9, 2025, and we want YOU to be part of it! Whether you’re a longtime VRA member, a first-time attendee, a student, or a seasoned professional, this is your chance to share your knowledge, spark meaningful discussions, and connect with an engaged community.
Bring your expertise, challenges, and insights to the table—whether it’s about metadata, digital scholarship, copyright, storytelling, workplace culture, or something entirely new. We encourage you to take advantage of this extension and submit a proposal for a lightning talk, session, panel, workshop, or discussion.
