There is under one month to go until Brighton is taken over by hundreds of 
library and information professionals for the CILIP Conference and there is 
still time to register your place. http://cilipconference.org.uk



The Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals will be hosting 
our annual conference on 12-13 July at the iconic Brighton Dome – a Grade I 
listed multi-arts venue – originally built as a stable block for the Prince 
Regent’s horses!

It will be centred around three main themes: Managing Information, Using 
Technology and Everyday Innovation, and will invite delegates to share 
experiences and offer practical advice. The speaker programme, with 31 breakout 
sessions across the two days, is designed to deliver real insights that you can 
apply in your own work, whichever part of the sector you work in and whatever 
your level of experience so that you can return to your organisation feeling 
connected, valued and inspired with ideas for the future. There will be talks on 
subjects as varied as copyright, data stewardship, information literacy, public 
sector partnerships, information governance, privacy, social media, user 
engagement plus many many more. Organisations represented include Carnegie UK 
Trust, Morgan Stanley, Bodleian Libraries, Tinder Foundation, Royal Shakespeare 
Company and Ministry of Defence.



One of the conference’s keynote speakers is Professor Sir Nigel Shadbolt, 
Professor of Computer Science at the University of Oxford and Principal of Jesus 
College. Sir Nigel has acted as an advisor to government on open data where he 
helped oversee a transformation in the way government data was used. He is the 
Co-founder of the Open Data Institute (ODI) with Sir Tim Berners-Lee, and will 
be speaking about the “opportunities and challenges of open data”. He will set 
out a clear role for information professionals in helping to manage and extract 
value from a firm’s data. Scott Bonner from Ferguson Municipal Public Library 
will share the story of how he and his staff helped their community in turmoil, 
following the killing of Michael Brown in 2014. Closing the conference, Dr 
Lauren Smith will discuss how shared professional values and ethics are 
fundamental to enabling us to responsibly and effectively do our diverse jobs as 
collectors, preservers, providers, facilitators, educators and more. She will 
talk about why our principles matter so much within the context of access to and 
the production of knowledge, connecting ideas around how whose voices get heard 
within society is an issue we as a profession also need to address.



Delegates can also join take part in the Fringe programme, social events, 
library tours and a “Your Career” strand as well as meet the CILIP Special 
Interest Groups.

and on the social activities arranged, visit http://cilipconference.org.uk

Organisations who book four or more full conference delegate places will be 
entitled to 50% off their fourth delegate place, and each place after that.



We look forward to welcoming you to Brighton.
