Call for proposals: posters at #WLIC2025

many poster boards either side of a narrow aisle with people form many countries looking at the boards and chatting at the 2023 IFLA conference

Another IFLA WLIC call! They invite proposals for posters to be presented in person at the conference (taking place in Astana, Kazakhstan, 18-22 August 2025). Deadline is 1 April 2025. From personal experience, the poster exhibition (19-20 August) is very substantial and your poster gets a lot of attention (there are numerous aisles like the one in the photo from 2023's conference). There are always numerous information literacy posters!
The conference theme is Uniting Knowledge, Building the Future and they say
"As IFLA holds the Congress in Central Asia for the first time, we have a unique opportunity to bring all aspects of the profession together to share and learn. The availability of knowledge is essential to building the future of our societies. Libraries share, libraries combine, libraries preserve different formats of knowledge – oral, print, digital.
Please specify how your project or library activities bring together knowledge that contributes locally, regionally or globally to our societal future. Describe what you have done to achieve results through collaboration, partnerships or increasing sustainability?"
