Miles Conrad Award 2020 Discussion (condensed) - Todd Carpenter, Deanna Marcum, Jim Neal

The first annual NISO Plus conference was an in-person event, held in Baltimore, MD, on February 23-25, 2020. Our goal was to bring stakeholders from across the information economy together to generate discussion, seek common ground, identify areas of opportunity, and provide a space and resources to work towards solving common problems. We are happy to share the sessions that we recorded — the keynotes, Miles Conrad Lecture, and NISO-specific content.
