(3 Oct 2023) IFLA has been informed of the decision to withdraw the invitation to hold the 2024 World Library and Information Congress in Dubai.
The decision was communicated to us by the Emirates Library and Information Association who led the bid to support the development of the field and wider region.
As Dubai was the only viable bid, there will now not be a World Library and Information Conference in 2024.
The announcement in full is here.
