The IFLA Governing Board invites Expressions of Interest (EOI) from its member national associations or other member representative bodies worldwide to host two distinct upcoming IFLA events:

The deadline to submit the EOI for either congress is 15 April 2025. For further information and to complete the application, please refer to the above webpages.

Both calls are directed at and open to all IFLA member national associations or other member representative bodies worldwide.

The Conference is held in August each year in a city chosen through a competitive process. WLIC traditionally attracts between 3000-4000 attendees from over 100 countries, and IFLA is looking for an outstanding host city and association ready to partner with us to provide an exceptional event for the worldwide library community.

The IFLA World Library and Information Congress in 2027, in particular, promises to be a landmark Congress as IFLA celebrates 100 years of leading and developing the library and information profession and bringing libraries and librarians together on a global scale.
