The Society for Scholarly Publishing (SSP) is organising a pre-conference for Sunday 7 April, the day immediately preceding UKSG’s 42nd Annual Conference and Exhibition at the Telford International Centre.
The theme of the pre-conference is ‘We're Not Who We Used to Be’: Shifting Relationship Dynamics and Imbalances in an Open Access World. With representation from publishers, libraries, funders, intermediaries and the author-researcher community itself, the pre-conference will provide analysis and case studies of changing roles and interrelationships across the scholarly community in the face of shifting OA business models.
Speakers include:
- Rob Johnson, Director, Research Consulting Limited
- Jess Wade, Researcher, Imperial College London
- Rachel Frick, Executive Director, OCLC Research Library Partnership
Ann Michael, CEO of Delta Think and former SSP president, will moderate.
Both the SSP pre-conference and UKSG Annual Conference will be held at the Telford International Centre. A more detailed programme for the pre-conference is available, and registration is now open.
