The Coalition for Networked Information (CNI) invites project briefing proposals for our Fall 2025 Membership Meeting, taking place December 11–12 at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. Note, this will be a Thursday–Friday meeting.
Submit your proposal through the form at: https://www.cni.org/events/mm/fall-2025/project-briefing-proposals-f25
The submission deadline is October 10, 2025
Project briefings (presentations) address state-of-the-art developments, issues of interest to the membership, a timely topic, or a specific project related to networked information content and technologies, particularly those that are cross-institutional or of broad interest to the community. Project briefings include information about a project’s goals, progress, and lessons learned, time for discussion, and perhaps demonstrations. Issue-oriented briefings include background information on a topic of interest and ample time for general discussion with attendees.
Important Information
- Anyone may propose a project briefing; affiliation with a member organization is not required.
- The meeting will be held in person; presenters are expected to speak in person except in very unusual circumstances. Speakers are invited to attend the entire meeting (there is no registration fee), though they or their organizations are responsible for their expenses.
- Project briefings are typically 30-minute to one-hour sessions. We also accept proposals for lightning round presentations (limited to five minutes, one presenter).
- All sessions will be recorded and made openly available after the meeting. In some exceptional cases we may accept a session that is not recorded at the request of presenters.
- Please note that project briefings are not intended to serve as marketing sessions for products or services; promotional presentations, including for non-profit services or initiatives, are not appropriate.
- Address state-of-the-art developments and issues of interest to our membership, particularly those that are cross-institutional or of broad interest to the community (see CNI’s topics pages and recent member meetings for some themes that are important to our work)
- Focus on novel, timely, or creative approaches to digital information challenges
- Are geared toward high-level administrators and policymakers
- Feature topics that would particularly benefit from interactive discussion
