…then we would love to have you join us at the IIIF Showcase. All are welcome!

Showcase registration available on Eventbrite. - Note onsite registration is also available.

Who is it for?

The IIIF Showcase is an event for people new to IIIF to get an overview and discover the latest developments in a single event (though it offers something for everyone, so returning attendees are welcome as well!). It assumes no previous experience with IIIF and will cover the full gamut of IIIF from the basics to Showcases of the latest developments in the IIIF Community.

Location: Rackham Amphitheatre, Rackham Graduate School, 4th floor

Note: Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, November 3, so make sure your watch and/or devices are set to the right time (you can always check time.is if you need to check or compare two places).
