**Apologies for cross posting** The National Information Standards Organization (NISO) Tech Summit, happening online October 25–26, is rapidly approaching! We have a stellar program of speakers lined up, so don’t miss this unique opportunity to join us and reflect on the Year of Open Science. NISO Tech Summit <https://www.niso.org/events/niso-tech-summit> | Virtual Event Reflections on the Year of Open Science Wednesday, October 25, 2023, 10:00 am–1:30 pm EDT (US/Canada) Thursday, October 26, 2023, 10:00 am–1:30 pm EDT(US/Canada) In January of this year, 2023, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) launched a significant milestone in the science and technology arena when it unveiled the Year of Open Science. As we approach the conclusion of this pivotal year, NISO’s Technology Summit brings this topic center stage to reflect on this multi-agency endeavor and its far-reaching impacts. The summit will constructively critique the role of technology and supporting organizations in either facilitating or impeding the progress toward open science. We’ll consider which existing systems were prepared to embrace the declaration’s ideals and which required new implementations. Furthermore, we’ll explore how library and publishing communities seized the opportunity presented by the Year of Open Science and how we can collectively strive for improvement.
