Conferences in 2017 - updated regularly

Have you registered to attend or present at a local, national or international library conference in 2017? We’d love you to share your presentations or hear your plans!

Sydney is set to be a hotspot of activity to start the year with ALIA Information Online from 13 February, State Library of New South Wales’ International Indigenous Librarians' Forum from 21 February, and IFLA’s STEAM into Sydney from 14 March.

Brisbane has the Museums Galleries Australia National Conference in May, bringing together in current and future leaders and decision-makers from Australia and across the Asia-Pacific region.

If you’re looking for an overseas getaway, you might consider Next Library to be held in Denmark in June; EBLIP9 in Philadelphia, USA, also in June; IFLA’s World Library and Information Congress in Poland in August; or, a little closer to home, LIANZA 2017, to be held in New Zealand in September.
