The second NISO Plus Conference was held virtually on February 22-25. This year\u2019s theme was \u201cGlobal conversations – global connections\u201d. The event brought together 850 participants from 26 countries<\/a>, with a high level of engagement during the 52 sessions. As in the previous edition, NISO Plus is a \u201csage not on stage\u201d event<\/a>, which translated into many interesting discussions across the live Q&As, Twitter<\/a> and the NISO forum<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Another element that made the NISO Plus 2021 program unique was the effort to enable networking moments to get more conversations started. The Jeopardy NISO edition was an interesting way of learning and thinking about standards, and the session counted with more than 80 participants. \u201cWe were thrilled to have so many attendees engaging and learning about NISO standards, events and community activities,\u201d commented Raymond Pun (Hoover Institution), session host.<\/p>\n
