Access Innovations, Inc. is proud to support the Society for Scholarly Publishing’s (SSP) 48th Annual Meeting, taking place May 27–29, 2026, at the Gaylord Pacific Resort & Convention Center in Chula Vista, California.

As one of the premier gatherings for the scholarly communications community, the SSP Annual Meeting brings together publishers, librarians, researchers, technologists and solution providers to address the most pressing challenges and opportunities facing the industry today.

At this year’s meeting, Access Innovations, Inc. will showcase its new chunk-level data-labeling service, built to help publishers create language model-ready data that drives greater accuracy and more robust responses in generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) projects. Combining semantic enrichment with attribution, the service gives publishers greater control over how their content is structured, understood and used in AI environments. Visit booth 308 to explore practical solutions and exchange ideas with peers navigating this shift.

The 2026 program centers on a defining paradox: how to adapt and innovate amid disruption while staying grounded in the core values of scholarly communication. This theme reflects the community’s shared priorities as it responds to evolving technologies, shifting funding landscapes and growing expectations for trust and transparency.

“We’re committed to helping scholarly publishers maximize the value of their content in generative AI initiatives,” said Heather Kotula, President and CEO. “A critical part of that is making sure every chunk of content includes the semantic structure and attribution needed to produce accurate, trustworthy and more robust AI responses.”

With a dynamic program featuring plenaries, educational sessions, industry breakouts and an active Exhibitors Marketplace, the SSP Annual Meeting provides a unique opportunity to engage directly with the people and ideas shaping the future of scholarly publishing.

Access Innovations, Inc. looks forward to being part of these conversations and to collaborating with the community to support a more resilient, innovative and connected scholarly communications ecosystem.
