From Friday, 24 October 2025 to Thursday, 30 October 2025, join us for “Trust, Truth, and Technology: Navigating Information in the AI Age.” This event promises to delve deep into how artificial intelligence is transforming the way we create, share, and consume information.

Hear from Dr Leo Lo, Dean of Libraries at the University of Virginia, who will deliver a keynote that tackles one of our era’s defining challenges: strengthening information integrity in a fragmented digital landscape.
