We are pleased to announce that registration for NISO Plus Baltimore, taking place in person on February 10–12, 2025, at the Marriott Waterfront, is now open!
Organized by a committee representing libraries, publishers, vendors, and more from around the world, NISO Plus will emphasize conversation over presentation and offer opportunities throughout for participants to network and address the biggest challenges currently facing the information community, including issues around emerging technologies, open research and open access, metadata, research integrity and ethics, and much more. Presentations or panel discussions will be followed by discussion and Q&A periods in which participants will collaborate to identify common problems and brainstorm solutions. NISO will also continue with its tradition of hosting an awards luncheon featuring the Miles Conrad Award and Lecture, the Ann Marie Cunningham Service Award, the NISO Fellows awards, and an introduction to the 2025 NISO Plus Scholarship awardees.
This year’s program will include two pre-conferences, each offering a deeper dive into timely issues in scholarly communications. Building on 2024’s popular pre-conference, the morning event will explore the role of Artificial Intelligence in the current information ecosystem. See how far AI tools and systems have progressed in just a year, how they are changing the behavior and expectations of information seekers, and how to responsibly evaluate the use of AI in your corner of the information industry. In the afternoon, a second pre-conference will explore solutions to assessing the usage of open access content, particularly scholarly monographs, in the humanities and social sciences.
Thank you to our event sponsors, Bowker, EBSCO, Silverchair, CHORUS, ProjectMUSE, and OpenAthens, who have helped to keep registration affordable. If you’re interested in joining them, you can review sponsorship opportunities and sign up via our sponsorship form.
Register by January 10, 2025, for early bird rates. Discounts are available for members, students and retirees, and groups.
We look forward to seeing you in Baltimore! In the meantime, see this site for updates on the program and speakers.
