Where are we with preprints? That’s the question that NISO expects to be wrestling with during this forthcoming event in Washington, DC, *Open Access: The Role and Function of Preprints* <https://www.niso.org/events/2019/11/open-access-role-and-impact-preprint-servers>. The dates are November 14-15, 2019, and the venue is the American Geophysical Union. Register to attend *today*! The objective is to identify potential issues and existing gaps currently impeding the work of those most impacted. Scheduled small group discussions will allow attendees to better understand specific community needs and work together to identify mechanisms that will satisfy those needs: What’s working? What isn’t? To fuel those discussions, we offer a cross-sector range of views as evidenced here: *The Impact and Practical Role of the Preprint in our Current Environment* Kent Anderson, Founder, Caldera Publishing Solutions *The Unfunded Mandate of Compliance* Oya Rieger, Ph.D., Senior Advisor, Ithaka S&R *Acceptance and Use of Preprints in Diverse Domains and Disciplines* Thomas Narack, Assistant Professor, Integrative Data Analytics, Goucher College *Preprints, the Institutional Repository and Impact on the Research Institution* Tyler Walters, Dean of the Library, Virginia Tech *The Impact of Preprints on Scholarly Societies: Business Models and Workflows* Angela Cochran, Publisher, ASCE *The Long and Winding Road* Greg Gordon, Managing Director, SSRN *Building TechRxiv -- A Preprint Server for Engineering, Computer Science and Related Technologies* Gerry Grenier, Senior Director, Content Management, IEEE *Next generation repositories: developing a distributed architecture to support widespread sharing and review of pre-prints* Kathleen Shearer, Executive Director, COAR *Driving Use: Identifiers and Enhanced Metadata* Kathryn Funk, PubMed Central, and Jeff Beck, Literature Program, NCBI, National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health *Systems and Interoperability* Erin Wiringi, Director of Marketing Communications & Community Development, American Chemical Society. *Emerging Vision; Call to Action* Jessica Polka, Executive Director, ASAPBio *Registration is Open*: If paying by credit card, use this form <http://www.cvent.com/events/open-access-the-role-and-impact-of-preprint-servers/event-summary-07b4c02f2e204eceae04985c1e3c515c.aspx>.
