====================================================================

NFAIS Call for Presenters!

Submission Deadline: Monday, May 15, 2017
http://www.nfais.org/call-for-presenters


====================================================================

Overview:

Open Access (OA) continues to gain momentum as open science and open
peer review advance the movement and trends. From the research
development to the scholarly output, creating a more transparent
end-to-end process allows unfettered sharing, inclusion and
collaboration as a continuum in scientific research and discovery. And
while all of this aligns well with a more socially engaged information
community, it continues to disrupt and change the direction of how
scholarly communications are evolving.

NFAIS will explore this multidimensional disruption at our Open Access
Conference on October 2- 3, 2017 in Old Town Alexandria, VA.  The
program will consist of keynote speakers, plenary and panel sessions.
Become a speaker and share your insights and expertise with others in
the information services community: introduce current thinking,
industry trends, new technologies and application to others in the
industry. You may be selected to present alone, with a co-presenter,
or as a panel.

We are looking for visionary, inspiring and future-focused individuals
who can elevate discussions, debate and provide practical ideas and
solutions.

Presentation Guidelines:

The submissions deadline is May 15, 2017
Submissions must be in English
Presentations must be original and unique to the Open Access and
Beyond Conference; the same presentation/talk cannot have been given
90 days prior to the conference
