2025 Preliminary Conference Program

We're happy to share the schedule of sessions for the International Conference on the Image. We update the schedule on a weekly basis, so please make sure to check back regularly, as the schedule is subject to change. If you've recently registered but are not yet scheduled, your presentations should appear here within the next week. Because this is a draft schedule, you may be the only paper currently in your session; don't be concerned—we'll include more papers as we update the schedule.

If you have an accepted proposal, make sure you register to be included in the program.

2025 Conference Program

The conference program groups together presentations along similar themes to facilitate knowledge sharing and community building. The first schedule of sessions will be available when we're able to present a complete picture of the conference. We will offer both place-based and online options for viewing and engaging. In the meantime, you may view a list of all accepted proposals (both confirmed to attend and still pending registration) on our List of Accepted Proposals.

The program will be announced two months prior to the conference start date. If you have an accepted proposal, make sure you register to be included in the program.
