Satellite Meetings
Every year, a variety of IFLA’s Professional Units (Sections, Special Interest Groups, Review Groups, and Advisory Committees) organise unique Satellite Meetings prior to or just after the IFLA World Library and Information Congress. This year we have over 10 scheduled, each with different ways to participate.
These important 1-2 day meetings will be held exclusively in Korea, either in Busan or Seoul. Registration may be limited, so be sure to check the individual meeting requirements.
Additional details and links to be published as available.
