This year’s conference hosts 3 keynotes: publishing expert Yvonne Campfens on innovating like a start-up; Kajal Odedra of Change.org on harnessing the power of community, and Silvia
Modig, MEP and President of the Finnish Library Association on what we can learn from Finland’s passion for libraries.
ILI celebrates library innovation of all types, from large scale, high-budget projects to small-scale practical initiatives. The theme of innovation through collaboration is picked
up by Yvonne Campfens in her opening keynote ‘Create, innovate, collaborate: learning from start-ups’. Based in the Netherlands, Yvonne has researched and worked alongside many start-ups in the scholarly communications ecosystem, and will highlight examples
of how innovation and collaboration can be encouraged across different information sectors.
Day 2 opens with a talk from Kajal Odedra, Executive Director of Change.org and author of the forthcoming book Do Something: Activism for Everyone. In her keynote ‘Harnessing the power
of community’, Kajal talks about engaging hearts and minds and the power of communities to bring about collaborative change.
ILI’s final keynote will come from MEP Silvia Modig, who is also President of the Finnish Library Association. In her keynote ‘Libraries in Finland – a good news story’ she describes
Finland’s enthusiastic embrace of libraries, and considers what lessons can be learned from this approach.
The ILI 2019 conference agenda features over 70 speakers, with an emphasis on case studies, providing insight, inspiration, and ideas for information professionals from every type
