IWB Conference 2026
Currents of Change: Navigating the Shifts in Information Science
Information science has never stood still. It moves like tides, reshaping the shores of knowledge with every wave of innovation. From the early currents of cataloguing and classification to today’s surging flows of data analytics, AI, and digital ecosystems, the field has evolved in rhythm with technological and societal change. This conference explores those shifts, with attendees sharing how ideas ripple outward, how practices ebb and flow, and how we can navigate the next wave of transformation. Attendees will have the opportunity to unpack what that can look like across the information management sector, and connect with other professionals, students, and researchers about these issues.
