In order to allow as many as possible to attend IASSIST 2026, the conference will be virtual.

We thank University of Massachusetts Amherst Libraries for their willingness and hard work to host next year’s IASSIST 2026. While many were looking forward to travelling to Amherst, we want to give you ample notice that the 2026 conference will be virtual. Since planning began, we have heard from many that you would be unable to attend an in-person conference in 2026 due to changes in funding and other challenges. IASSIST strives to be inclusive and we know many long time members are never or rarely able to attend in person conferences.

We greatly value the in-person camaraderie and networking that occurs in person and hope to return to an in-person conference in 2027. IASSIST Administrative Committee with the full support of University of Massachusetts Amherst Libraries has voted to make the 2026 conference virtual.
