ALIA Leadership & Innovation Forums

 

ALIA invites you to the 2016/17 Leadership and Innovation Forum series across Australia



These special events are intended to connect ALIA Members with leaders and influencers in the library and GLAMR sector. This is your opportunity to network with some of the key thinkers and decision-makers; the people who drive our industry. 

Our overall theme is leadership and innovation - if we can make these work for us, we will be looking at a bright future for the library and information sector.

The challenge we will be putting to our expert panel in each state and territory in 2016/17 will be innovation through collaboration and partnerships, "Now that's Clever!".

 

We'll be asking leaders about their vision for innovation and change in their organisations, and the ways they have supported innovative practice through collaboration and partnerships, especially with other organisations or individuals we might not have expected.

Come along and enjoy a fantastic networking opportunity and a convivial drink and canape. Cheers!

Free for ALIA Members, however all are welcome.  Numbers will be limited, so be sure to register early for this not-to-be-missed opportunity.
