We are thrilled to announce that the NISO Plus conference is returning to Baltimore, Maryland from February 10-12, 2025 at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront.
Organized by a committee representing libraries, publishers, vendors, and more from around the world, the Call for Proposals is open thru November 1, 2024. The meeting format will emphasize conversation over presentation and offer opportunities throughout for participants to network, collaborate, and explore solutions to challenges currently facing scholarly communications.
We are planning two full days of sessions on February 11-12, including amazing keynotes from recognized information experts, plenty of opportunities for networking and problem solving, sessions that focus on the needs of the community, and the first ever live generative AI competition. We will also continue our tradition of the Miles Conrad Award and Lecture, as well as our other awards programs: the NISO Plus Scholarship program, the Ann Marie Cunningham Service Award, and the NISO Fellows awards.
On February 10 we will be convening two pre-conference programs. In the morning, we will be following up on last year’s pre-conference with a continued exploration of 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, we will be holding a second pre-conference that continues our long tradition of the Humanities Roundtable. This event will focus down on issues and topics that are specific to the scholarly needs of the humanities, exploring the challenges and concerns outside of the world of STEM scholars.
More details about our program, preconferences, registration and hotel information will be available soon!
