ISSN was first published as an ISO standard in 1975, making 2025 its 50th birthday. Come help us celebrate the history, drama, and accomplishments of this important standard with some humor and maybe a song or three.

Attendees will come away with a better understanding of the background and significance of the standard and its use today.
