The red-brick modern library building stands in the foreground, with the gothic clock tower of the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel visible behind it. Three silhouetted figures walk across the courtyard carrying books or folders, their shadows cast long across the ground under a warm orange sky.

London Event

Following on from the very enjoyable FIL Online event we held in the Summer, we are pleased to announce that our next event is to be held in person at The British Library in London on 14 November. Booking information and a draft programme will be sent out nearer the time but timings will be 11-4 to include a tour of the BL and light refreshments.

We’re always on the lookout for speakers and interesting topics for these events, so if there’s anything you’d like to share please do consider delivering a session.  Your presentation can be on any topic and can be either:

  • A llightening talk- usually brief overviews which are 10-15 minutes long. Ideal for first time presenters.
  • A full presentation- typically 30-40 minutes long.

If you would like the opportunity to present a session at the event, then please email  Amanda Foster with a short outline of your idea.
