PKP announces the first 2024 Sprint and Pre-Conference event, happening Monday, May 13, 2024 and Tuesday, May 14, 2024. 

The Public Knowledge Project is thrilled to announce our inaugural Sprint of 2024, marking our first PKP Sprint in North America since 2019! This year, we are excited to partner with the Library Publishing Coalition, aligning our events with the eagerly anticipated, in-person, Library Publishing Forum 2024 at the University of Minnesota. Along with our hosts, PKP Member organization, the University of Minnesota Libraries, we warmly invite you to join us in Minneapolis this May.

We’re looking forward to connecting with PKP software users, community contributors, librarians, digital publishing experts, and financial contributors attending the Library Publishing Forum 2024.

Event details

  • Save the Date: Monday, May 13, 2024 and Tuesday, May 14, 2024
  • Location: University of Minnesota Libraries, Wilson Library  

May 13, 2024

On Monday PKP will host a full-day software Sprint, where small, self-organized teams work together to solve common software issues or make enhancements that benefit everyone. As always, software development also involves non-coding tasks, so you don’t need to have coding or programming expertise to participate. Editors, managers, administrators, and all users are invited.

On Tuesday PKP will host a half-day pre-conference to spotlight some of the ways we’re an interdependent ecosystem collaborating to enhance interoperability between PKP, our valued strategic partners, and foundational open infrastructures.

Event details, including schedules, panel descriptions, registration, and scholarship information will be shared as the event approaches.

We’re looking forward to seeing you at the University of Minnesota Libraries! 

Stay tuned for more events to connect with our globally distributed community throughout the coming year and beyond.
