2025 CPTSC Conference in Pictures

We are back from a successful conference this year!

Thank you to the conference organizing team and the CPTSC executive committee for creating a productive space for members to present their research, network with each other, and exchange ideas at Texas Tech University, alongside our co-location partner, the ACM-SIGDOC.

We have pulled some pictures from the camera roll of our conference chair and CPTSC members who have shared these memories publicly online. We hope we enjoy them as much we do!
