There is still time to book your delegate place for the CILIP Conference 2019 (3-4 July, Manchester).

 

We are so excited to present a programme drawing on the insights and experience of information professionals from health to education, professional, legal and financial services, to public and school libraries. There is also a strand dedicated to Your Career, with workshops to help you progress and develop, no matter where you are on your career journey.

 

Our keynote speakers and panellists will look at the ethics of AI and knowledge management, the need for employers to do more to promote diversity and inclusion, and the power of design to improve services.

 

EveryLibrary, who spoke so passionately at the 2018 CILIP Conference, return with a Breakfast Seminar, unveiling the first phase of their national advocacy project with CILIP, made possible with funding from Arts Council England. They will discuss the resources that will be made available to library campaigners and introduce strategies and tactics that you can use in order to build political power and influence to support library funding.

 

CILIP’s recently formed Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Network has been created to address BAME underrepresentation in the LIS profession. Join them at their breakast seminar and explore what it means to be an ally, and consider how non-BAME professionals can support the purpose of the new Network.
