People Make Glasgow
UKSG thanks Glasgow City Council for its generous support.
The UKSG Annual Conference and Exhibition is a major event in the scholarly communications calendar which each year attracts over 900 delegates from around the world – librarians, publishers, content providers, consultants and intermediaries. The conference combines high-quality plenary presentations, lightning talks and breakout sessions with a major trade exhibition and entertaining social events. UKSG looks forward to returning to the Scottish Event Campus (SEC) in Glasgow in April 2018.
Glasgow is a vibrant and compact city with plenty to offer delegates outside conference hours. You can be sure of a warm welcome in this destination voted ‘World’s Friendliest City’ by Rough Guides. Explore what Glasgow has to offer.
