PHAIDRAcon is the annual gathering of the PHAIDRA community. It is a place where researchers and academics meet data stewards, curators and creatives; where librarians and developers meet with institutional leaders and policy makers.
Above all, it is a space where thinkers from across the fields of academia and cultural heritage come to explore how digital technology can bring research, curation and learning to life in new and exciting ways.
Are you a repository manager? An IT professional? Someone in a leadership position looking for the right repository solution for your organization? Or are you simply someone who is interested in research data management, open access and open source and would like to exchange ideas with like-minded individuals? Then you've come to the right place!
Because in the digital realm, “long term” is not about a specific technology: it is about community, shared need and vision.
We believe that a successful repository solution cannot evolve in isolation. They grow through open dialogue: between institutions, disciplines and individuals, and across borders and cultures.
Each year, PHAIDRAcon brings together diverse perspectives to explore the latest developments and innovative thinking around digital preservation, curation, archival, scholarly communication, open education and academia.

Repositories are no longer simply archives. They are active agents of social impact; spaces where universities meet society, and where knowledge becomes a shared civic responsibility.
