AIIP 2026: A Symposium

for information Professionals & Solopreneurs

April 9-11, 2026, Virtual

Join us for the ultimate gathering of independent information entrepreneurs at #AIIP26! Whether you're launching your info business or elevating your existing one, this is the place to be.

AI is changing how information work gets done, but AIIP members are not defined by tools. We are defined by our expertise, judgment, and entrepreneurial spirit. This year's theme, AI is a Tool | IP is the Core, focuses on how information professionals can work effectively with AI, evolve their services, and strengthen their businesses without being replaced by technology.

Experience inspiring presentations from industry leaders, and connect with a global network of like-minded peers. Don't miss this chance to gain valuable insights and forge meaningful partnerships.
