Theme: Back to the Future / Retour vers le futur

The Canadian Association for Information Science (CAIS/ACSI) is pleased to announce its 53rd annual conference to be held in a hybrid format at Dalhousie University, in the beautiful and vibrant oceanside city of Halifax, Nova Scotia from May 27-29, 2025.

This year’s theme, “Back to the Future” is a nod to our return to gathering back in person for the CAIS conference, after five years exclusively online. It also denotes the CAIS community’s over half-a-century tradition of conferring with other members of our interdisciplinary community about our shared values and mission, which we continually return to for guidance as our field evolves. Just as this theme roots us back to CAIS’ core principles of openness and inclusivity, it also turns our minds towards the future of our field. It asks: how do we draw on and learn from our past to shape our future? The researchers and practitioners comprising our community may consider where we came from, where we are going, and the threads that unite past and future, as we gather as an academic community in the present.

This year’s conference is hosted by the Department of Information Science of Dalhousie University.

We look forward to welcoming you to Halifax!
