We are excited to bring a new concept to WLIC this year.
We truly see WLIC as a learning opportunity and wanted, for the first time, to provide a platform explicitly for sharing skills and knowledge with their colleagues.
Over 12 sessions, over 15 speakers from around the world and across the library field will share useful skills. Come along, listen to their expertise, ask questions, join the discussion, and see if inspiration strikes!
When?
Tuesday 22 August, Wednesday 23 August, Thursday 24 August 9:00am – 4:00pm
Where?
Dock 16 — Ahoy Conference Centre, Rotterdam
