VALA Showcase presentations highlight current technologies and practices, giving delegates the chance to view library applications and processes in more detail and speak with presenters and speakers from the conference. These will be located in the VALA Showcase space at the back of the Exhibition Area. As these presentations will be held during lunch, morning and afternoon tea breaks, feel free to bring your food and drink to the VALA Showcase space.
