and be inspired by all the great work that libraries are doing.
And what sorts of plans and prepa- rations should any supplier thinking about exhibiting at WLIC be considering? If WLIC is taking place in a country or region that you are not familiar with or do not speak the language, it might be worth considering working with an intermedi- ary. They can help in organising many different aspects of your trip and attend- ance at the event. And all the information provided by IFLA is really helpful in getting you familiar with what to expect and what is required.
It is essential to allow plenty of time for planning—whether that is planning what your exhibition stand will look like, what you want to send to have on your stand, or even down to looking into the entry requirements for the location. All these things often take longer than expected, so it is better to start planning sooner rather than later.
Finally, the extent to which you think the exhibition will be a factor in whether potential WLIC ticket buyers will decide to buy? I think WLIC as a whole is what draws people to attend, as well as the location, rather than solely the exhibition element. The experience of all aspects of the event

is what attracts people year after year, and without one of these elements, it just would not be the same event.
And/or anything WLIC attendees should bear in mind about the exhi- bition if they are aiming to come to WLIC in 2027?
If you want to meet with specific organi- sations or people during the conference, be sure to contact them ahead of time to arrange a time to meet. From experience, the event can be very busy with lots to see and experience over the week, so if there
is something specific you want a demo of or to know more about, it is always advis- able to set up meetings. This also helps attendees to get the most out of their time at the event.
