      ab: The article provides a comprehensive recap of the American Society for Indexing’s (ASI) 2026 Annual Conference, themed “Indexing in Interesting Times,” which addressed challenges and opportunities in indexing amid technological advances and global disruptions. Key sessions included discussions on the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on scholarly publishing and indexing, emphasizing that while AI adoption is growing, human indexers remain essential due to AI’s current limitations. Practical presentations covered disaster preparedness for indexers, the use of macros and regular expressions to improve productivity, and strategies for marketing and government contracting. The conference also introduced ASI’s new interactive online Principles of Indexing course and highlighted wellness practices such as meditation to support indexers’ well-being.
