We believe that the Summit offers many advantages, not just for participants in their own personal development but also for the institutions where you work, and associations of which you are a member. 

The Summit will be a great learning and development opportunity, offering new perspectives on librarianship today and tomorrow, which can translate into improved services and processes in your own work. It will include masterclasses focused on leadership, as well as other key skills for professionals at all levels, as well as providing a space for self-reflection. 

We strongly encourage employers, association heads and other potential funders to view the Summit as a great way to support colleagues in their career development, to share your own experiences and insights, and to bring back knowledge and energy to work at home.

Yes, your registration fee will be refunded. Please read the Terms and Conditions that apply for obtaining a refund.. Note that while we have liaised with the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs to alert them to international participants for the Summit, we are unable to intervene in decisions made by Australian authorities with regard to visas. 

Brisbane, the capital of Queensland is a major airline hub and you can fly there directly from most countries.  There are also regular connections between the other Australian international gateways, Sydney and Melbourne.

Yes, the flight to Australia from many parts of the world is a long one – just ask Australian and New Zealand colleagues the next time you see them at an event elsewhere! But that’s why we are focusing on providing a targeted, intense and fulfilling professional development opportunity with 3 days of face-to-face sessions and tours to award winning libraries, plus a strong range of associated events planned by IFLA volunteers. In short, it will be worth the trip!

In practical terms, if you live in Europe, you could leave on Friday night and arrive in Brisbane on Sunday morning local time, giving you some time to recover and recharge before a stimulating and exciting Summit. You could then leave Brisbane again on Friday night local time, and already be home on Saturday morning. From Amsterdam, for example, flights take around 24h in each direction. 

Similarly, from North America, you could leave home on Friday afternoon, and be in Brisbane by Sunday morning local time, while to return, you could leave Brisbane mid-morning on Friday and be home by mid-afternoon the same day (having crossed the international date line!). From Chicago, flights take 19h-25h typically.. 

Some indicative flight times from different parts of the world are listed below:

However, it seems a shame to travel to Australia and not take time to see more of the country. While it is a vast land, there are incredible natural sights and experiences not far from Brisbane. See Australia’s unique animals at close range or dive into the waters of the Pacific Ocean. A trip to Australia is often on people’s wish list  – make the wish come true as part of attending the IFLA Information Futures Summit.
