CILIP Conference 2017 – 5-6 July, Manchester
Library, Information, Research Group Bursary Award
LIRG are offering one bursary for CILIP Conference in Manchester on 5-6th July 2017.
"This is an amazing opportunity to connect with library professionals around the globe, to generate ideas and build relationships. When librarians get together, something great happens." Dr Carla D. Hayden, Librarian of Congress and CILIP Conference 2017 keynote speaker.
The CILIP Conference brings together 600 library and information professionals for two days of knowledge sharing, discussion, debate and networking opportunities. The conference aims to leave you feeling inspired and passionate about the work that we do as a profession.
This year’s programme focuses on the key areas impacting our profession; from technology to policy, and social justice to learning. These sessions will sit alongside a dedicated strand focusing on “Your Career” which will offer help, advance and the tools you need for all stages of your career, and a brand new strand – the “Creative Hub” – working with Manchester Library Services.
All of this kicks off with a fantastic keynote presentation from Dr Carla Hayden, Librarian of Congress, in what promises to be one of our most exciting conferences to date.
More keynotes and the full programme will be available soon.
