CILIP Conference 2025 will focus on leadership in the information, knowledge management and library sector.

North Star: Asserting our ethical principles and leading through change

Against a backdrop of sluggish growth, fast-paced tech innovation, live AI experiments, and viral mis/dis-information, our sector’s ethical framework is more relevant than ever: To preserve knowledge in secure and useful ways, now and in the future. To protect people from misleading and harmful content by upskilling them and giving them access to a wide range of trustworthy information. And to promote responsible, sustainable, and ethical practices.  

CILIP Conference 2025 will explore our ‘North Star’ ethical principles in the context of how we navigate this time of great challenge and opportunity, and examine how we – as trusted information professionals – can exert our influence; demonstrate our impact; and position our sector’s expertise to secure our seat at the top table – whether that be at an organisational, local, national or international level. 

The programme will cover topics such as:

• Digital inclusion
• AI literacy and critical thinking about new tools
• If we really mean ‘yes’? Big Tech, data literacy and consent
• The latest developments in AI, copyright, and licensing, including how we balance creators’, innovators, and       tax-payers’ rights
• AI governance
