NISO Plus Global Online 2025
What You'll Want to Know!

2025 has been a year of disruption and uncertainty for many, and now more than ever, it’s important to remind ourselves that we’re part of a community. Our annual NISO Plus Global/Online conference, happening September 16–17, offers a timely opportunity to connect with colleagues, share insights on thriving in a rapidly evolving landscape, and propose new ideas for addressing a variety of challenges.
At NISO Plus Global/Online, speakers will address the areas of greatest concern to those working in scholarly communications, including cybersecurity, accessibility, research integrity, use cases for AI, and AI and ethics. Attendees will learn how colleagues are tackling problems in their own organizations and institutions. This year, in answer to feedback from previous conferences, sessions will be held live wherever possible, and as always, we will include time dedicated to discussion and brainstorming solutions to the problems we explore. These are the conversations that lead to future standards projects!
The meeting program will also include keynotes, networking, and updates on NISO standards updates, including Phase III of KBART, the Open Access Business Processes Working Group, the US National PID Strategy, and the Accessibility Remediation Metadata project. And we’ll build on the latest ideas to emerge from our in-person meeting held in Baltimore in February, many of them around research integrity and the use of AI in scholarly communications and research.
We hope you’ll join us for this opportunity to participate in the discussions that shape our standards program!
Thank you to our sponsors, Cadmore Media, figshare, ASME, American Chemical Society (ACS), Bowker and Silverchair,
