Springer Nature: Society Journals in a Time of Change: A Roundtable Discussion

Building off of our successful breakout session in 2025, we will host a highly interactive reverse roundtable session to explore how society journals can stay mission-driven while adapting to a rapidly evolving publishing landscape.

This session will offer a unique opportunity to engage with peers on real-world challenges and strategies across a range of timely topics, including:

* Strategic forecasting and long-term planning for long-term sustainability

* Artificial intelligence and its growing role in all aspects of publishing

* Globalization and serving diverse scholarly communities, especially with turbulent funding options

* Open scholarship and evolving open access needs and mandates

* The future of publishing models and society value propositions

* Self-publishing vs partnering with a large publisher
