2026 World Library and Information Congress

The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) has selected Busan, South Korea, to host the 2026 World Library and Information Congress from 10-13 August 2026.

The 90th World Library and Information Congress (IFLA WLIC 2026) will mark IFLA’s return to South Korea, two decades after the successful WLIC 2006 in Seoul. The Korean Library Association secured a strong and compelling bid to welcome the global library community.

The Conference will be held at the Busan Exhibition and Convention Centre (BEXCO) and will feature diverse approaches, ranging from peer learning and practical case studies to thought-provoking insights from leading experts who challenge established assumptions.
