THE CHAT ZONE:
AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE & SPARK IDEAS

The Chat Zone is a standout feature of the CILIP Conference – an informal space designed to spark conversation, share ideas and challenges, and build connections. Delegates gather for short, focused discussions on real challenges and hot- button topics (based on information gathering from questions asked when all delegates registered) such as AI tools, digital transformation, and the future of Open Access.

This is a unique opportunity to listen in, contribute to the conversation, and align solutions with the needs and interests of the Library and Information community.
