Session Proposal Form

We are sorry to announce that we did not reach our minimum number of attendees to hold LIPS 2026 in person.

We sincerely thank our would-be host Derek Demeter for all of his efforts. Organizing a conference is a lot of work, and we hope Derek will be willing to host again in the future.

If you typically go to LIPS but were not able to attend this year, we would appreciate it if you would share your reasons with us. You can send that info directly to karrie <at> Digitaliseducation.com (Karrie’s email).
