The fantastic Drone show at DILC2024 above the Mohammed Bin Rashid Library.

I also had the privilege to speak at the Dubai International Library Conference #DILC2024 hosted by the amazing Mohammed Bin Rashid Library. I covered digital transformation, AI, OA, and treasures of libraries with a fantastic set of colleagues. There was a wonderful dinner & drone show as a social.

Really excellent panel on Libraries as Musuems of the Future. Libraries are musuems and musuems are libraries, they intersect and that's ok. #DILC2024

Really good session on Libraries and their importance for a caring and civilised society. It is really wonderful to see the initiatives across India, Kenya, Cyprus, Cameroon, UAE, and across the world in how Libraries democratise access to knowledge, skills, and technology. #DILC2024

The drone experience at #DILC2024 was creative and an exemplar of brilliant storytelling. What an amazing hospitality by the Mohammed Bin Rashid Library in #Dubai.

The Dubai International Library Conference #DILC2024 has started at the amazing Mohammed bin Rashid Library. Over 1700 people registered for the first edition of this important conference for the local region and librarianship.

I am looking forward to speaking at the inaugural Dubai International Library Conference 2024 #DILC2024. An important conference to open discussions and build librarianship further in the MENA region.
