You are invited to play a role in the future of public libraries Public Libraries in Aotearoa New Zealand are trendsetters within the library and information sector.

The annual National Forum brings together public library professionals and suppliers from all aspects of library management. The two-day programme offers peer-to-peer sessions, forwardlooking insights and networking.

In this highly interactive environment, delegates are exposed to varying perspectives on tough issues and identify strategies to ensure they remain players in the years ahead.

A new format enables delegates and Forum partners to attend every session. Our line-up of speakers are key decision-makers and innovators from the library sector. By lending their professional expertise we reach an understanding of present and future challenges and look at ways we can work collaboratively for maximum impact.

By becoming a Forum Partner, you may hear new information you may not be aware of – and use that information to choose your discussion focus with delegates for the rest of the day.

With numerous social events and opportunities for networking, attendance guarantees a unique opportunity to participate in honest conversations with one of the most influential workforces in New Zealand today.

By joining us at the PLNZ National Forum as a sponsorship partner, you and your team will help bring this two-day event to life and drive the future of Public Libraries in New Zealand.

I look forward to seeing you there.

Hilary Beaton CAE Executive Director Public Libraries of New Zealand
