ISS-SLC27 Submission Types
ASIS&T invites submissions for the 2027 Information Science Summit & Special Libraries Conference in the following formats.
Pre-Conference Workshop
Workshops will be held before the conference on Saturday, May 22.
A workshop is an interactive learning experience for attendees where they will walk away with a new skill or technique through discussion, activities, collaboration, or hands-on learning. A workshop should be a structured educational program where people collaborate to learn skills, solve problems, or work on a project. Workshops will have a clearly defined set of learning outcomes and provide time for attendees to have hands-on experience with the subject of the learning whenever possible.
If a workshop is sponsored by a SIG (Special Interest Group) or Chapter, please indicate this in your proposal. SIG and Chapter leaders will be contacted to confirm their sponsorship of the workshop.
- Proposal: Workshops must be submitted using the Workshop Submission Form.
- Workshop Length: One half day (4 hours, 8am-12 noon or 1-5pm) or one full day (7 hours plus 1-hour lunch break, 9am-5pm).

Posters are designed to invite questions and discussion and offer a unique opportunity to present late-breaking results, work in progress, data sets, methodological tools, or research that is best communicated in a poster format. Posters should be highly engaging, and easily presented visually to attract attention during a poster session.
A Roundtable Discussion is an interactive discussion between attendees on a relevant topic resulting in a report-out from individual tables to inform the larger topic. All roundtables will be for 60 minutes.
A short, focused presentation that allows speakers to quickly share an idea, project, research finding, or emerging topic with attendees. Each lightning talk is 5 minutes presented in a session of multiple lighting talks.
