The 3rd African Public Libraries Summit will be held at the beautiful, award-winning Durban International Conference Centre from 3-4th July 2018. Known as Inkosi Albert Luthuli ICC Complex, it is South Africa's first International Convention Centre and was declared open by President Nelson Mandela in 1997. The Centre which is 30mins drive from King Shaka International Airport & a few minutes walk to the beachfront is located right in the city centre at 45 Bram Fischer Rd (Old Ordnance Rd), Durban, 4001, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
The Commonwealth Heads of Government met in the Centre in 1999, the preliminary draw for the 2010 FIFA World Cup was held at the Centre as well as the Final Draw for the 2013 African Cup of Nations. And in July 2018, the Centre will host Librarians from all across Africa!
The conference which is hosted by AfLIA (African Library and Information Associations & Institutions) will feature Paper presentations, Ignite Talks, Discussions, Poster sessions, Panel discussions, Unconference sessions as well as the Market Place of Ideas. There will be opportunities for Librarians to network, learn current best practices from each other and seek collaborations that will position them better in engaging and serving their communities.
