====================================================================
What's Covered:

In the digital age, data is forming the foundation of new knowledge. It's the global force accelerating opportunities and opening new frontiers. Research communities across all disciplines capture, preserve and assess data to advance investigations and enable important discoveries. As a result, funders now demand that data be managed and curated as a key aspect of the research process, and future investigations and discoveries will rely on the data being collected today.

The NFAIS 2016 Annual Conference's theme is "Data Sparks Discovery of Tomorrow's Global Knowledge." In the context of fueling the advancement of information, the conference will examine issues and challenges on a range of topics including:

.         Managing data and establishing appropriate policies
.         Maintaining privacy and intellectual property rights
.         Text and data mining
.         Predictive modeling
.         New software, systems and analytic tools
.         The globalization and internationalization of content
.         Artificial intelligence 
 
The 2016 conference aims to help attendees understand what to expect in - and how to prepare solid foundations for - tomorrow's data-driven, global knowledge standard. Future developments by information services providers will reflect a deeper understanding of a researcher's needs and behaviors. New tools for evaluation and measurement, implementation of artificial intelligence, and new business models will allow service providers to prioritize data sustainability.  
 
The NFAIS Annual Conference, over the course of three days, will illuminate and dissect the complexities of our data-rich, networked environment, challenging current modes of thought and industry practices.
