SCONUL Spring Conference: Openness Under Pressure: Strategic leadership for libraries in an era of disruption

SCONUL's Spring Conference 2026, Openness Under Pressure: Strategic leadership for libraries in an era of disruption, will take place at the Royal College of Physicians in London on Friday 1 May from 10am to 4pm (registration from 9.30am).

We will explore how we sustain our mission in an environment of economic challenge, geopolitical fragmentation and cybersecurity risk. Across panel discussions, peer exchanges and lightening talks, we will consider how to move beyond reactive adaptation toward intentional leadership: shaping digital futures that are equitable, resilient and aligned with institutional priorities.
