Call for Sponsors! IASA-BAAC Conference 2026

Call for Sponsors for IASA-BAAC Conference 2026

We invite you to join us as a sponsor of the 57th Annual IASA Conference, presented in partnership with the Baltic Audiovisual Archival Council (BAAC). The event will take place 19–22 October 2026 at the Martynas Mažvydas National Library of Lithuania in the historic city of Vilnius.

This year’s theme, “Archives in Times of Peace and War: Safeguarding Audiovisual Memory, Identity, and Authenticity,” calls attention to the critical role audiovisual archives play in preserving culture, history, and truth. Whether attending in person or online, sponsors have a unique opportunity to support this global conversation while aligning with the shared goals of IASA, BAAC, and our broader community.

IASA conferences are renowned for shaping the future of sound and audiovisual preservation. By partnering with regional organizations such as BAAC, we expand our reach and strengthen the international network of professionals committed to safeguarding audiovisual heritage. Recent conferences in Hawai‘i, Spain, and Türkiye have drawn diverse global audiences and sparked influential dialogue across the field.

The 2026 conference offers an ideal platform to showcase new technologies, innovative systems, and collaborative approaches that advance access to and preservation of audiovisual memory. From cutting-edge tools to groundbreaking use cases, sponsors will be at the center of conversations that build more resilient and impactful preservation ecosystems.

If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, supporter, or exhibitor for IASA and the 2026 Conference, please contact sponsorship@iasa-web.org.
