Our industry is taking action for inclusion. In this session, the 2023 Workplace Equity (WE) survey committee will present results comparing 2018 and 2023 findings, sponsored by Coalition for Diversity and Inclusion in Scholarly Communications. We will report on changes in perceptions of workplace culture, values, and organizational support. We will involve the audience with anonymous polling to encourage engagement privately and safely, to share agreement and disagreement with sentiments. Then we'll choose themes to explore in this working session. At roundtables, we'll provide Workplace Equity survey data and resources from the DEIA toolkits and other resources to facilitate conversations. We'll explore practical recommendations to break down barriers and uplift values of belonging and inclusivity in our workplaces and industry-wide initiatives such as mentorship and recognition programs, networking and promotion opportunities. Leave this session ready to take action as individuals and line managers to make a difference in our organizations.

"Inflection Point: Setting the Course for the Future of Scholarly Communication" Huge growth in proposals and publications, a greater focus on researchers as both author and reader, evolving open access publishing models, and the urgent need for equity and inclusion are disrupting traditional publishing infrastructure and processes. In addition, the explosive capabilities of artificial intelligence will likely disrupt every facet of scholarly communication, but represent both opportunities and threats. We are at an inflection point—our decisions will determine both the value we deliver as an industry, as well as the values we reflect as a community.
