The NISO Plus conference organisers have announced the lineup for the NISO Plus 2020, scheduled to be held from February 23-25, at the Lord Baltimore Hotel, Baltimore, MD.
More than 50 experts from across the information industry will be speaking on a wide range of topics, from AI and altmetrics to seamless access and statistics, and much more. Two renowned leaders, Amy Brand, Director, The MIT Press, and danah boyd, Partner Researcher, Microsoft Research and Founder/President, Data & Society, will deliver the Keynotes.
The conference will feature an in-depth video conversation between James G Neal, winner of the 2020 Miles Conrad Award; Todd Carpenter, NISO’s Executive Director; and Deanna Marcum, former NFAIS Chair and a previous Miles Conrad awardee. Attendees can benefit from the NFAIS Foresight sessions, where they can engage directly with strategic decision-makers about what the future holds for the information community and agree next steps for moving forward.
The NISO Now track will see experts discussing the challenges and opportunities, and invite attendees to join their conversation. Additionally, the conference will feature practical sessions on everything from how to engage with NISO to updates on new and upcoming standards and best practices, including an opportunity to “ask the experts” about important topics such as metadata and preservation.
Lightning talks followed by discussion will see attendees share news about a tool or service, ideas for a new standard or best practice, or any other information-related topics. A few more speakers will be added in the coming weeks.
