ISS/SLC26: PAM Conference Planning

Volume 53, Issue 2 —— Spring 2026
Brian Quigley

This summer’s Information Science Summit & Special Libraries Conference is shaping up to be a standout event. Between a timely keynote, a program packed with cutting-edge presentations, and a strong showing from our PAM exhibitors, the schedule is bursting with value. And, of course, the Dance Party tradition is back! A huge thank you to the Conference Planning Committee for their tireless work in bringing this vision to life.

PAM members have also been hard at work on our programming for the conference. We’ve had three proposals accepted as sessions:

• Physics, Astronomy & Mathematics Roundtable (moderators: Meg Eastwood, Jeffra Bussmann)
• PAM Industry Partner Roundtable: Constantly Evolving Business Models and Publishing Initiatives (moderators: Sandy Avila, Chris Doty)
• LaTeX in the Library: Compiling What our Libraries Do and How (presenters: Kayleigh Bohémier, Samuel Hansen, Alex Threlkeld)

While still in the planning stages, we will also have our PAM Dinner on either Sunday or Monday night plus an informal no-host dine around on the other night. Over the summer, after the conference, we plan to have a virtual business meeting plus three virtual roundtables for Astronomy, Mathematics, and Physics. Stay tuned for more information!

Hope to see you in Albuquerque this June!
