Auckland World Library and Information Congress postponed until 2022

The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) and its New Zealand National Committee have postponed the IFLA World Library and Information Congress (WLIC) in Auckland until 2022.

Around 3000 library professionals were expected to attend the planned WLIC in Auckland in August 2020. The decision to postpone the event was made after the New Zealand International Convention Centre (NZICC) faced construction delays, and no other single-site venue with appropriate facilities was available for 2020 in Auckland.

IFLA will share plans for a new host city for the 2020 WLIC in August.
