About FestivIL

Bringing the information literacy community together online

What is FestivIL by LILAC?

LILAC is a key event in many diaries but due to the global pandemic we’ve had to postpone our face-to-face conference until April 2022. However, there is still so much to be said & shared and that’s where FestivIL by LILAC comes in.

FestivIL by LILAC is an online event to share knowledge & experiences and to bring the information literacy community together, as we continue to work in what is a very different professional environment for many of us.

The online event will feature masterclasses, lightning talks, IL talks (our version of TED Talks) and poster presentations, alongside opportunities to connect with IL professionals from around the world. We see FestivIL as an opportunity to support the IL community and we hope delegates will participate — be that sharing your experiences, posting a comment or just having a chat.

When we talk about the IL community we mean anyone who is interested in shaping and supporting the development of information literacy. Whatever stage you’re at in your career, whether that’s in libraries, learning technology, educational development, research or information management, we think you’ll get something out of attending FestivIL by LILAC.

FestivIL will take place 6–8 July 2021 across three half days, delegates can choose to attend all three days or choose the day/s most relevant to them.

Special thanks go to UCL, our strategic sponsor, as FestivIL by LILAC would not be taking place without their support.
