About this conference
The 48th Annual Meeting of the Society for Scholarly Publishing (SSP) is the premier event for professionals across the scholarly communication ecosystem. Facing significant upheaval due to cuts in US funding for research, distrust in academia, shrinking academic library budgets, the impact of AI on content creation, and an uncertain political environment, the conference aims to navigate the paradox of adapting and innovating while staying true to the mission of integrity in scholarly communication. Attendees will explore practical effects on content creation, workflows, business models, and relationships with authors, editors, and reviewers, discussing tactics and strategies to successfully face these challenges. The event offers educational sessions, networking opportunities, poster sessions, industry breakout sessions, an Exhibitors Marketplace, and previews of new innovations.
