 The​ ​iSchool​ ​student​ ​conference​ ​is​ ​an​ ​annual​ ​event​ ​that​ ​engages​ ​students,​ ​faculty,​ ​and professionals​ ​in​ ​conversations​ ​about​ ​the​ ​fields​ ​of​ ​information​ ​and​ ​museums.​ ​It​ ​gives​ ​students​ ​at the​ ​iSchool​ ​a​ ​platform​ ​to​ ​share​ ​their​ ​research​ ​with​ ​an​ ​audience​ ​of​ ​peers,​ ​including​ ​students, faculty,​ ​and​ ​alumni,​ ​as​ ​well​ ​as​ ​local​ ​information​ ​and​ ​museum​ ​professionals.​ ​The​ ​event​ ​brings these​ ​communities​ ​together​ ​to​ ​discover​ ​the​ ​excellent​ ​work​ ​that​ ​students​ ​have​ ​done​ ​and​ ​provides participants​ ​with​ ​the​ ​opportunity​ ​to​ ​benefit​ ​from​ ​crowd-sourced​ ​community​ ​insight.

​From theses to class work to exhibition projects, any and all research is up for submission! It is a great opportunity to make connections, practice public speaking, and share in exciting discourses with your colleagues; there is a lot of great work being done in this faculty. Information in the Air reflects​ ​on​ ​the​ ​changes within​ ​the​ ​information​ ​and​ ​museum​ ​professions​ ​and​ ​fields​ ​and​ ​the​ ​impact​ ​evolutions​ ​in​ ​media have​ ​had​ ​on​ ​society.​ 

The conference consists of two days of presentations and posters with a reception following the keynote speaker. In collaboration with the iJournal, there will be an electronic post-conference publication accessible online.
