Join us for the 2023 UKSG Forum! The UKSG Forum is a dynamic exhibition and networking event designed to bring together the knowledge community. The UKSG Forum was conceived in response to requests from members. Returning by demand after a break it’s a major event in the scholarly communications calendar supporting UKSG’s mission “to connect the knowledge community and encourage the exchange of ideas on scholarly communication”.

Event Summary
The UKSG Forum is one of the key benefits of being a UKSG member and attendance is therefore free to anyone working within a UKSG member organisation. In line with its charitable status, UKSG also wishes to encourage attendance by members of the wider community and therefore subsidises the event so that a nominal charge applies to non-members.
Programme chairs: Katherine Rose, Magaly Bascones, Tim Leonard
Free to UKSG members!
What can I expect at the UKSG Forum?
- sessions on best practice and interesting projects
- a comprehensive exhibition
- ample, good-quality networking opportunities
The Forum is the place for ideas, debate, provocations and short briefings. The programme consists of short lightning talks that provide “food for thought”, appealing to a broad range of interests and levels.
“A laid back event, just right for networking, and a good combination of timings for lightning talks, meetings and networking.”
“The short presentations made the day very flexible. I was able to attend the sessions, switch to the exhibition and pick up refreshments when I wanted.”
Theme
This year’s theme is “Everything everywhere all at once”: keeping up with our users information needs in the age of open scholarship and TikTok. We believe this theme encapsulates the challenges and opportunities we face in an increasingly interconnected and fast-paced world.
As the world has emerged from the restrictions imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic, the pace of change seems to be at an all-time high. This free UKSG Forum will explore the many facets of change affecting scholarly publishing today.
