Bursary #CILIPConf22

 

CILIP Conference The CILIP Conference + Expo (7-8 July, Liverpool) is one of the largest and most eagerly anticipated events in the library and information sector. For 2022, the event has been reshaped and reimagined to be delivered in person and virtually.

DTG are pleased to be able to offer one full delegate place with one night’s accommodation as a bursary place.

CILIP Conference traditionally brings together around 500 professionals from across the sector to share experiences, knowledge and expertise. The keynote speakers include Professor Jacqueline McGlade, Sayf Al Ashqar, and Vanessa Kisuule. The programme is being finalised but you can see an outline of the session content  here. Keep up to date by following @CILIPConf22

For the first time in three years, the event will be in person, and will be taking advantage of all the benefits of meeting face-to-face. The sessions will encourage free-flowing conversations, collaborations with like-minded professionals, the sharing of ideas and experiences, as well as being packed with practical tips and inspiring presentations.  There will be more collaborative workshops, more knowledge cafes, more networking and more activity taking place on the exhibition floor.    The theme running through the event will be “Libraries, Information and Knowledge for Sustainability” exploring issues including the circular economy, information literacy, data management, digital tools and evidencing impact.  

DTG will be hosting a live tech demo area where conference attendees can drop in an try out some of the tools and tech we have showcased over the last year, attend demos sessions and chat to the committee.
