It’s a new year, and the early-bird deadline for NISO Plus Baltimore
<https://niso.plus/niso-plus-2026-baltimore/>, happening February 16–18, is
fast approaching! Sign up by Wednesday, January 14
<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/niso-plus-baltimore-2026-tickets-1919132128859?aff=oddtdtcreator>
to
take advantage of this opportunity to learn from and collaborate with
members from across the information community.

Here are just some of the highlights from our interactive program
<https://nisoplusglobalonline.cadmore.media/niso-plus-2026>:


   -

   Two workshop-style pre-conferences focusing on AI in scholarly
   publishing. The first will cover provisioning AI access to content; the
   second addresses AI usage tracking. This is a great opportunity to shape
   the community conversation exploring best practices in these critical
   areas, and tickets to these half-day sessions are only $99.
   -

   A full-day pre-conference focused on the Journal Article Tag Suite (JATS)!
   For the second year running, NISO Plus will host JATS-Con, with sessions
   dedicated to the use or non-use of JATS and its extensions.
   -

   An opening keynote address from Brandie Nonnecke
   <https://niso.plus/2025/12/brandie-nonnecke-to-deliver-opening-keynote-at-np26-baltimore/>,
   expert in information and communication law, governance, and policy and
   Senior Director of Policy at Americans for Responsible Innovation
   -

   The Miles Conrad Award and Lecture, to be delivered by 2026 awardee Alondra
   P. Nelson
   <https://niso.plus/2025/10/alondra-nelson-is-our-2026-miles-conrad-awardee/>
   of the Institute for Advanced Study
   -

   Interactive sessions on metadata, peer review, accessibility, research
   integrity, identity and access, open research infrastructure, and AI
   (governance, usage metrics, training AI systems, and use cases). Each
   session will incorporate time for discussion and brainstorming as we
   explore solutions to shared challenges.
   -

   Two sessions dedicated to information standards updates. This year NISO
   released drafts resulting from three important projects: the latest
   revision of KBART, the Open Access Business Processes Recommended Practice,
   and the Collaborative Collections Lifecycle Infrastructure Recommended
   Practice. Join us to learn more about these and other standards initiatives!
