‘Location! Location! Location!’: a report on the ISC/SCI Conference, Vancouver, 2025

The Indexing Society of Canada/Société canadienne d’indexation (ISC/SCI) conference was held in Vancouver, BC, on 30 and 31 May 2025. Seven professional papers and a physiotherapy session provided enlightening and thought-provoking discussion. To keep minds refreshed, morning teas and lunches provided culinary stimulus, as did a jigsaw puzzle, which relied on collaboration. Networking with fellow indexers was the major benefit of the face-to-face conference.

Abstract

The Indexing Society of Canada/Société canadienne d’indexation (ISC/SCI) conference was held in Vancouver, BC, on 30 and 31 May 2025. Seven professional papers and a physiotherapy session provided enlightening and thought-provoking discussion. To keep minds refreshed, morning teas and lunches provided culinary stimulus, as did a jigsaw puzzle, which relied on collaboration. Networking with fellow indexers was the major benefit of the face-to-face conference.
