The first day of iPRES 2025 began bright and early this morning, featuring a series of hands‑on workshops and tutorial sessions. Attendees—both on‑site and joining virtually—are excited for the upcoming presentations, posters, bake off, interactive games, and the chance to reconnect with friends and colleagues from around the world.

Meanwhile, the iPRES STG Committee convened for an on-site meeting. The agenda covered work‑plan outlooks for the next few months, insights and progress reports from the team steering this year’s conference, and early briefings from the upcoming organizers who will host next year’s event in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Future Hosts will be announced on Thursday during the iPRES 2025 closing session.
