The BnF at the 2025 World Library and Information Congress

The 89th IFLA Congress (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions) takes place from 18 to 22 August in Astana, Kazakhstan, around the theme “Uniting Knowledge, Building the Future”.

This annual congress is the key meeting for all librarians bringing together thousands of participants from all over the world. It is preceded by one or two days of satellite meetings. In addition to learning about the latest trends and IFLA’s strategy, it is also an opportunity to meet new colleagues and learn about the latest professional advancements.

As in previous years, a delegation of the BnF staff elected in various sections will be taking part in the meetings.
