Across dynamic plenaries and parallel sessions, the community will explore how it can thrive in a changing world — with practical insights on AI, industry benchmarking, community engagement, global markets and diversity, operating lean in tiny teams, and global priorities like the SDGs, author diversity, publishing equity, and research integrity.
