Click here to read why you should attend the mega health libraries event of the year: https://www.cilip.org.uk/news/721142/Book-your-place-for-International-Congress-on-Medical-Librarianship.htm where Imrana Ghumra, HLG Conference Lead and Elizabeth Ketterman, IFLA HBS talk to Rob Green, Editor CILIP Information Professional on how this international congress will benefit your professional development.
We asked some of our attending delegates about the benefits of attending #ICML2026 and this is what they said:-
This will be my first time attending ICML and I was lucky enough to receive a bursary. I can’t wait for the opportunity to network, attend workshops, attend lectures and have the opportunity to learn from other professionals (in an international context). If you’re thinking about attending, then book your spot now! There is so much to gain from being there (even if it’s online attendance) and a chance not only to gain knowledge that will directly help in your role, but also a perfect chance for ticking boxes for Chartership or CPD.
Sophie Castle, Clinical Librarian
I’m delighted to be heading to ICML this year. It’s a fantastic opportunity to connect with library and knowledge professionals from around the world, expand my skills, and bring fresh insight to my work.
For anyone working toward Certification or Chartership, ICML offers a wealth of opportunities to gather high‑quality evidence for your portfolio. If you’re new to the profession, it’s an inspiring introduction to the breadth and impact of our field. Even for those with many years’ experience, there’s always something new to discover.
Looking forward to seeing many of you there!
Toni Catt, Library and Knowledge Service Manager
