Scholarly publishing is in a state of flux. Whether it’s regarding business models, technology, or global funder and political policies, there is change in every corner. As such, this 2025's ALPSP Conference focused on ‘Practical Implementation’, with the aim of enabling attendees to gain confidence in taking necessary steps to position their organizations appropriately for the challenges of today and tomorrow.
The ALPSP Conference provides a friendly forum in which to share information and knowledge, learn about new initiatives, and engage in open discussion on the challenges and opportunities facing publishing today. With expert speakers and a wide-ranging programme, our annual event is for everyone in the scholarly publishing community.

Member discounts
ALPSP is pleased to offer a discount on the ALPSP Conference and virtual training course registration fees to member organizations that are based primarily in Low Income/Low Middle-Income Countries (LIC/LMIC). This is based on staff numbers and is in line with the discount on membership fees.
