Right now, we face a crossroads. Our ability to share and deliver knowledge resources is at best changing – at worst, threatened. As knowledge experts, we need to make sure we understand and respond to these challenges confidently and proactively.
This year’s conference’s theme is Innovation, Access and the Evolution of Knowledge in NHS Wales - bringing together voices from research and innovation teams, librarians, knowledge experts and leaders to discuss how our shared digital knowledge environment has developed and how it must adapt.
To register your interest for the Hybrid Conference Day, please complete the registration form before 18th June 2026.
