Aarhus Public Libraries have been hosting a number of different conferences.

The overall purpose is to support and inspire public libraries’ innovation and create network to increase opportunities and build strong communities all over the world.

In order to create the most inspiring and learning environment with optimal conditions for participatory, engaging and interactive meetings for participants our conferences intend to welcome participants from libraries all over the world. To ensure diversity, recognition, engagement and network we often invite the participants to create the conference together with us.
