RLUK Events

RLUK holds a number of events each year, for our members and for the wider community.
These include the Inclusive Collections, Inclusive Libraries series, the Digital Shift Forum, and RLUK’s Space Programme.
Our virtual annual conference is held in the Spring and brings together the leading thought leaders and decision makers in the UK and international research library community. Full details can be found on the conference website.
From 2013 to 2022 RLUK was a partner in the DCDC Conference series. Recordings from DCDC events during this period can be found here.
You can watch all recorded events on the RLUK Player.
