<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">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.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">NFAIS will explore this multidimensional disruption at our Open Access Conference on
<strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">October 2- 3, 2017</span></strong> 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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">We are looking for visionary, inspiring and future-focused individuals who can elevate discussions, debate and provide practical ideas and solutions. <b><span style="color:#212121"> </span></b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
