2025 World Library and Information Congress
Arrangør: IFLA The International Federation of Library Associations and Institiutions
Uniting Knowledge, Building the Future
After a year with no Congress, we know that there is a great desire from our members and volunteers to meet in person again. Yet beyond this, WLIC has a unique power to catalyse energy and growth in host countries and regions, as well as to offer new perspectives for all participants.
Meeting in Astana will provide an exceptional opportunity for discovery and learning for colleagues in a unique region of the world with a rich cultural history.
Building on ideas already emerging from the ongoing WLIC Review, IFLA WLIC 2025 will incorporate different concepts, from peer-learning and on-the-ground case studies to high-level thought leaders challenging our assumptions. Astana itself is a modern city, and one which highlights Kazakhstan’s rich and vital cultural heritage.
