The Innovation Gathering is an annual event which brings public library staff together from across the UK to showcase their innovative work, create new connections, and think collectively about how to improve services.

The programme has been developed with a team of library staff who select topics that are of interest and relevant to people working in libraries. It will feature guest speakers and quick fire ignite talks from library staff followed by networking table discussions.

The event is aimed at library staff in development and middle management roles but is open to anyone working in public libraries.

Ticket prices and booking details will be announced in early 2025, but if you'd like to attend please save the date!

Member Only Event

Most public libraries in England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and the Crown Dependencies are members so if you work or volunteer in one of these libraries register on our platform before booking to attend.
