TIPC3

The Rise of the Playground

When you organize a single conference, it’s called a conference. When you organize a second one, that’s what we call an encore in the academic business — or that may be a theatre term, actually. When you organize a third conference, they now come in a series. This is what TIPC3 was: a playful rise and grounding of The Interactive Past Conferences as a series.

TIPC3 was held at the Faculty of Archaeology at Leiden University from 24-26 May, 2023. It was organized by the VALUE Foundation and financially supported by the Past at Play project. TIPC3’s programme committee consisted of Nick Webber, Sybille Lammes, Corine Gerritsen, Angus Mol and Aris Politopoulos.

You can re-watch all of TIPC3 on our YouTube Channel. The book that resulted from this conference is currently in press at Sidestone Publishers and will be available to read for free later in 2025.
