Early Career Professionals Panel Discussion

Early career professionals, individuals in their first ten years in the industry, bring much-needed fresh perspectives, skills, and new approaches that can help us shape and achieve a vibrant future. Join the SSP Early Career Subcommittee members for a lively conversation with early career professionals. Our panel will discuss expectations for an organization's approach to professional development, career progression, and mentoring. Our panel will also share organizational culture recommendations to fully engage early career professionals. We will hear the viewpoints of individuals who have successfully grown their careers: one who has developed their career within an organization and another who moved organizations to support their career growth. We'll also hear the perspective of someone just starting their career.

"Transformation, Trust, and Transparency" The pace of change in our industry continues unabated, with seismic shifts in areas such as the dissemination of research, business models, and the nature of the workplace. And yet, while pressure for change has become the new normal, fundamental change has proved more elusive. We invite you to join us in highlighting the Trust and Transparency issues that underlie many of the challenges we face and exploring what it takes to create more meaningful Transformation in scholarly publishing.
