Opening remarks for the 50th anniversary IASSIST conference
It is an IASSIST tradition for the President to give opening remarks at the first plenary of the annual conference. Below are Robin Rice“s opening remarks on 4th June in Bristol, England, for the 50th anniversary IASSIST conference, as the outgoing President for 2025. Good morning and welcome to IASSIST 2025: Bridging oceans, harbouring data & anchoring the future. A great theme for our 50th anniversary conference, and more prophetic than I would have guessed when the Programme Committee came up with it back in the autumn of 2024, but that’s a thought for another time.
