Annual Conference - LIBER Europe

LIBER Annual Conference

LIBER’s Annual Conference is one of the most important gatherings for research library professionals in Europe.

It has been a main LIBER activity for over 40 years and has continually grown in size and scope. Each year, around 300-400 delegates spend three days networking, collaborating and learning from one another.

Through our keynote speakers and interactive workshops, delegates have an opportunity to identify the most pressing needs for research libraries and to share information and ideas for addressing those needs.

Want to learn more? Take a look at our Conference Website.
