Videos & Slides

Representatives from CNI member organizations gather twice annually. In the current public health emergency, we have moved the Fall 2020 meeting virtual and spread it out across about a month to take advantage of the virtual environment; the meeting will culminate in two afternoons (Eastern Time) on December 14-15, when the in-person meeting had been scheduled, to include the Executive Roundtable and plenary presentations. Each member organization may send two representatives. Registration details have been sent to member representatives.
Four weeks will be devoted to project briefings: three weeks based on the major themes of CNI’s Program Plan, and the final week devoted to emerging issues and crises. See theme descriptions for more information.
Project briefings are the very heart of every membership meeting, allowing participants to interact informally about projects, initiatives, and ideas of their own choosing. Plenary sessions include presentations of CNI’s latest initiatives as well as insights from national and international leaders in the networked information community.
