20 Years of jDPG!

Planning Meeting:
📆 When? December 21, 7 p.m.
📍 Where? Zoom Room 1

As you may already know, the jDPG will turn 20 years old in 2026, and we want to celebrate this anniversary. To do so, we would like to launch several events next year and shape the Members’ Weekend accordingly. To plan these events, gather ideas, and organize the upcoming year, we want to form a large, cross-generational jDPG team.

For initial ideas and planning, we will meet on December 21, 2025 at 7 p.m. in Zoom Room 1. If you’re interested or simply want to have a look, feel free to join us! You can also already browse the ideas collected in a workshop at the 2025 Members’ Weekend.
