The 2026 International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) Annual Conference will be held in the Netherlands June 1–4, 2026, and will be hosted by the IIIF Consortium with support from the Dutch Digital Heritage Network.
This event is intended for a wide range of participants and interested parties, including digital image repository managers, content curators, software developers, scholars, and administrators at libraries, museums, cultural heritage institutions, software firms, and other organizations working with digital images and audio/visual materials.
In addition to the Conference, held June 2 and 3, the event includes a free Showcase on June 1. The Showcase is meant to introduce newcomers to IIIF, and those seeking to learn how IIIF is used in a variety of contexts.
