NISO Plus 2025 in Baltimore Is Just Days Away

February 2025

Maybe you think it’s too late to join us for NISO Plus 2025 in Baltimore next week, but there’s still time! We want you to be a part of all the lively discussions happening, and we’ve saved a spot for you. Starting Monday, February 10, we’ve got three days chock-full of learning, problem-solving, and networking.

On Monday, three pre-conference workshops kick off the meeting:

Cindy Hohl, Director of Policy Analysis and Operational Support, Kansas City Public Library, offers a particularly timely opening keynote on Tuesday, February 11, addressing equitable library access as a human standard.

Dr. Timnit Gebru, Executive Director of the Distributed Artificial Intelligence Research Institute (DAIR), is the 2025 recipient of the prestigious, lifetime achievement Miles Conrad Award, one given only to key contributors to our ever-evolving information environment. With so much attention being paid to the ethical development and use of artificial intelligence, you can’t afford to miss her Miles Conrad Lecture on Wednesday, February 12.  

In between keynotes from those two luminaries, you’ll get to engage in collegial discussions on a wide range of topics, including: 

  • Artificial intelligence
  • The 2025 content technology “Hype Curve”
  • Research integrity
  • Accessibility metadata
  • Cybersecurity

And as Todd Carpenter, Executive Director of NISO, notes in this month’s letter, the conversations with cross-sector participants are key in making NISO Plus 2025 successful. As a member-driven standards organization, we prioritize consensus and collaboration as we work to identify solutions to the most pressing challenges in scholarly communications. 

The information community is forging ahead in the building of new information practices, technology, and infrastructure. Players in both public and private sectors are critical to this process, and you can play an important role by joining us, so register today!

Many thanks to our generous sponsors—American Chemical Society (ACS), ASME, Bowker, CHORUS, Clarivate Analytics, Contiem, EBSCO, keenious, OpenAthens, the Open Science Framework, Project MUSE, Silverchair and SPIE Digital Library—for helping to make our meeting possible.
