Unlocking Culinary Secrets: What SSP Chefs Reveal for 2026’s Game-Changing Annual Meeting
I will highlight one session that I think deserves special mention — the opening plenary session for day two, Navigating the Paradox: Adaptation, Innovation and Collaboration in 2026. Tim Lloyd from LibLynx masterfully moderated a panel of articulate thinkers. We had Teodoro Pulvirenti from ACS, Rebecca Lawrence from Taylor & Francis, and Jay Patel from Cactus Communications.
The idea was to ask questions and set “provocations” to tease out where the panel may see us in 5 years’ time. The first of the provocations was perhaps the most challenging, asking where we may be in 5 years’ time if scholarly publishing was no longer relevant. Perhaps the most interesting response to this provocation was Teo’s notion that the strongest brands may not be the loudest brands. He also asserted that perhaps most important of all may be a new system of truth focusing on verification, trust and stewardship. Jay also pointed to the future not focusing on counting “eyeballs on a page” but the value of interactions themselves.
