Ignite Talks will bring diverse ideas and experiences from around the World!
The IFLA Information Futures Summit (IIFS) offers a stimulating programme across a variety of topics. The Summit represents a new event format for IFLA and we are keen for it to offer greater possibilities for networking and interaction and contribute to IFLA future-focused initiatives. Earlier this year, IIFS 2024 delegates were invited to submit a proposal for a 7-minute Ignite Talk. Over 40 slots were accepted for our programme, with speakers come from 19 countries across all IFLA Regional Divisions. Most topics align with the themes of the Summit, including: AI, dis-Information, digital inclusion, indigenous matters, open access and workforce futures.
Sessions will address the future that we want, the role of information in it, and what we, as a field, can do to shape it. It is a great way for delegates to share and experience innovative projects of international relevance.
