As we move into 2026, organizational leaders are reflecting on the year ahead and setting professional development priorities for their teams. The industry landscape continues to evolve rapidly, with artificial intelligence reshaping workflows, library relationships requiring new approaches, and career development taking on fresh importance as our industry transforms. In this environment, continuous learning isn’t just beneficial—it’s essential
Our Enterprise Webinar Package offers a great value for organizations committed to keeping their teams informed and equipped to navigate these changes. Rather than managing individual registrations or limiting access to select employees, this package provides your entire organization with year-round access to SSP’s complete webinar program. Plus, virtual events like these make it possible and cost-effective for global, distributed teams to learn from industry leaders and stay up to date on new developments.
This year’s webinar topics reflect where our industry needs to focus. Sessions throughout the year cover career advancement strategies at different stages, practical applications of AI in publishing workflows, copyright considerations in an AI-enabled environment, marketing effectiveness, and the changing nature of library relationships. These aren’t abstract discussions—they’re grounded in real challenges we’re all working through as the scholarly communications ecosystem continues to adapt and transform.
The 2026 series kicks off this Wednesday, January 28, with “The Evolving Role of Academic Libraries,” an immediate opportunity for your team to engage with timely perspectives as the year begins.

Beyond the practical benefits, there’s something meaningful about an organization signaling its commitment to growth and continuous improvement. When professional development is readily available, it demonstrates investment in people and recognition that industry expertise requires ongoing cultivation. This matters for retention, engagement, and building the kind of informed, adaptable teams that scholarly publishing needs as we move forward.
“As an industry service provider, many Silverchair team members have little direct interaction with the broader industry, yet the trends and discussions offer massive benefits in contextualizing the work they do. So we were thrilled to be able to open webinar attendance to our entire organization, offering easy and targeted professional development opportunities through the year.”
—Stephanie Lovegrove Hansen, Silverchair
