ALIA provides the platform as a meeting point for all Library and Information professionals, from all sectors and all areas of Australia and the international community. The National Conference provides unparalleled opportunities to become stronger as professionals and as an industry with engaging programs and a forum to collaborate, network and build partnerships amongst our colleagues, peers, industry leaders and corporate partners.

About the ALIA National Conference 2026

The ALIA National Conference is the flagship event for the Australian Library and Information Association, bringing together library and information professionals from all sectors and career stages. Held every two years, this conference is a vibrant in-person forum for knowledge-sharing, networking, and professional growth.

In 2026, we’re taking a fresh approach—there will be no single overarching theme for the conference. Instead, we’re keeping the program open to allow for a wider, richer exploration of the issues, ideas, and innovations shaping our profession. The conference will nonetheless spotlight the many ways the library and information sector continues to create positive impact—by connecting communities, supporting lifelong learning, advancing digital inclusion, fostering innovation, and more.

So join us as we come together to share knowledge, celebrate achievements, and shape the future of our field. Expect engaging keynotes, thought-provoking sessions, hands-on workshops, and meaningful conversations that reflect the strength and diversity of our sector.
