**Apologies for cross posting** With just over two months till NISO Plus 2023 (February 14-16, 2023) — and just over a month to register at the early bird rate <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/niso-plus-conference-2023-registration-428686682407> (available through January 9, 2023) — we’re delighted to share the close-to-final program <https://np23.sched.com/> with you. We have a wonderful lineup of speakers, including three great keynotes — Dr. David Weinberger <https://www.niso.org/press-releases/david-weinberger-give-opening-keynote-niso-plus-2023> (Berkman Klein Center at Harvard University, USA), Dr. Caleb Kibet <https://www.niso.org/press-releases/caleb-kibet-confirmed-second-keynote-speaker-niso-plus-2023> (Pwani University, Kenya), and Dr. Yuko Harayama <https://www.niso.org/press-releases/dr-yuko-harayama-confirmed-closing-keynote-speaker-niso-plus-2023> (Professor Emeritus at Tohoku University, Japan) — as well as this year’s Miles Conrad Awardee, Dr. Safiya Noble <https://www.niso.org/press-releases/dr-safiya-umoja-noble-receive-nisos-2023-miles-conrad-award>, (UCLA Center for Critical Internet Inquiry and MacArthur Foundation Fellow, aka “Genius Award” recipient). The program itself is a mix of invited sessions, as recommended by the NISO Plus 2023 Planning Committee <https://niso.plus/np23-planning-committee/>, responses to our call for proposals, and ideas generated at the recent NISO Plus Forum <https://niso.plus/forum/>. There’s something for everyone — especially if you’re interested in metadata! We’ll be covering pretty much every aspect, from the political (funder requirements and national strategies) to the practical (multilingual metadata, making a business case for metadata), and beyond. Other conference topics include diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility, metrics, OA, open educational resources, and more. As well as the keynotes, we’ve got a great lineup of over 100 other speakers from around the world — we'll be adding more details about them all in the coming weeks. As in previous years, the program will take place across two blocks of time (Americas morning/Europe, Middle East & Africa afternoon and Americas evening/Asia Pacific morning) so that everyone can participate. So check out the schedule <https://np23.sched.com/> and book your tickets now at the early bird rate <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/niso-plus-conference-2023-registration-428686682407> (available through January 9, 2023). We’ve once again been able to keep costs low thanks to the support of our generous sponsors <https://niso.plus/sponsors/> — prices start at just $30 for students, unemployed, retirees, and those in lower income countries. Even better, if your organization is sending five or more people to the conference, the cost is just $99 each for NISO members or $149 each for non-members!
