Europe Chapter

On June 15-17 2022 ASIS&T European Chapter organised the latest in their Information Science Trends conference series. This was a real team effort: Co-Chairs were Sophie Rutter, Jesse Dinneen and Sheila Webber; members of the European Chapter committee and the European Student Chapter Committee provided the reviewing panel, session chairs and valuable online support (such as ensuring we kept to time and monitoring chat). We also had great support from ASIS&T HQ: taking registrations, providing the Zoom links and monitoring, and putting the recordings online for us. Finally, there would have been no conference without the presenters!
