The 20th year of IWB will be taking place on Monday, March 8th, 2027, from 8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. at the McInnes Room in the Student Union Building.
Our theme this year is Nurturing Information Connections. We are hoping to…
- inspire students and information professionals to strengthen their information sharing communities
- network with members of the information community
- raise awareness of associations that create information communities
- and share resources!
We aren’t just looking for “experts”; we want people with stories and experiences to share!
There are three ways to present:
- Keynote Speaker – 30 min + 15 min Q&A
- Part of a Panel – 15 min + 10 min Q&A
- Lightning Talk – 10 min +5 min Q&A
Prompting Questions:
- How do you nurture your information connections with people within your workplace? With your professional community?
- What are the gaps that deter or prevent connections?
- How can we intentionally collaborate better and avoid reinventing the wheel?
- What is a tip that you have to help emerging information professionals form these connections?
- If you had to give 3 pieces of advice to students or information professionals, about how to better form connections, what would it be?
- What tools do you use to form these connections?
- What research are you doing that involves your professional community?
