IASSIST 2025: IASSIST at 50! Bridging oceans, harbouring data & anchoring the future


IASSIST at 50: Where Have We Been and Where Are We Going

IASSIST 2025 marks the 50th conference for the International Association for Social Science Information Service & Technology (IASSIST). This poster will map the locations of previous conferences and highlight locations and regions that have served as repeated hosts for past IASSIST conferences. As we explore and celebrate 50 years of IASSIST conferences, this poster will also demonstrate the geographic gaps and future opportunities for expanding global participation in serving as a conference host and diversifying attendance. One of the hallmarks of IASSIST has been its international perspective. This poster aims to showcase and reflect that trait.
