IASA Ambassadors Committee Meeting
Tuesday October 20, 2026 4:00pm - 5:00pm EEST
The IASA Ambassadors was conceived in 2018 as a flexible platform for informal information exchange, networking, and knowledge-sharing. The program seeks to decenter traditional hierarchies by fostering connections between large, well-resourced institutions and smaller cultural and community-based archives. IASA Ambassadors aims to forge informal network building -  between archivists who may be working as “lone arrangers” in the developing world, and colleagues in large scale archives throughout the globe. In doing so, it aligns with broader efforts to redistribute authority, amplify underrepresented voices, and recognize the value of localized knowledge within a global archival ecosystem.

In this meeting, open to all members willing to take part, we will discuss the Ambassador Committee role as a relational and transformative practice. Rather than viewing outreach solely as dissemination, we will work searching for reciprocal processes of engagement that enables transnational knowledge circulation and collaborative meaning-making.

IASA Discography Committee Meeting
Wednesday October 21, 2026 11:30am - 12:30pm EEST
The IASA Discography Committee invites you to attend our open meeting at the annual conference in Vilnius, Lithuania. This in-person meeting will also offer an online option for IASA members who are unable to attend the conference. The Zoom link to attend virtually appears below.

In the past our committee has been active in creating the International Bibliography of Discographies, and in developing the IASA guidelines for National Discography. We are currently working with the ARSC Discography Committee (Association for Recorded Sound Collections) and others to develop a universal discographic database (UDD), a
peer-reviewed resource for research into historical sound recordings. At this conference meeting we’ll provide an overview of the UDD project proposal and allow time for attendees to give updates about their own projects. We’ll also hold an election for committee officers.

IASA DEI Committee Meeting
Wednesday October 21, 2026 2:00pm - 3:00pm EEST
The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Committee is pleased to hold its 2026 meeting in Vilnius, welcoming both in-person and online participation from committee members (existing and new) and anyone from the IASA organisation or conference community.

This meeting addresses the practical work of the committee - strengthening equitable and inclusive practices within the organisation, and pro-actively supporting the diverse contributions and perspectives that shape the organisation and its networks of practice in the field. This work concerns all activities and practices within IASA, while also looking outward to the diverse contexts of real-world practice in the wider audiovisual archiving field.

We encourage attendees to share current concerns and forward-looking ideas during the meeting, to inform the planning of activities and strategies for 2026-2028. This process itself supports the organization’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. In line with the work of the committee, we welcome input from IASA’s varied communities, networks and areas of practice.
