Showcase Your Business at IFLA WLIC 2025 – Uniting Knowledge, Building the Future

The IFLA World Library and Information Congress (WLIC) is the perfect platform for connecting with a global community of library and information professionals. This prestigious event offers exceptional opportunities for both commercial and non-commercial organizations to showcase their products, services, and innovations to an influential and diverse audience.

In 2025, attending IFLA WLIC presents a unique opportunity for sponsors and exhibitors as it occurs for the first time in Central Asia. Astana, Kazakhstan is the host city and there is great enthusiasm to hold IFLA WLIC in this often-overlooked region. The librarians hope to gain knowledge and improve services for the communities they assist across the country. They are interested in library databases, equipment, systems and more in a variety of library types. There is untapped potential that IFLA hopes to harness to join our global community.

IFLA expects that the Congress will draw a large and eager group of delegates from surrounding countries such as Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan in addition to areas such as Eastern Europe, the MENA region, South Asia, China and Southeast Asia that lie within easy reach of Astana. For participants from Europe and North America, Kazakhstan is an exotic location, and we anticipate that delegates who regularly attend IFLA WLIC will be interested in visiting a very different part of the world. If you are looking for new markets or to amplify your organisation’s global presence, we invite you to join us and be part of the success of the Congress.
