Welcome to Melbourne

 

MESSAGE FROM THE LORD MAYOR OF MELBOURNE

On behalf of the City of Melbourne, I welcome all delegates taking part in the VALA Libraries, Technology and the Future Tech Camp 2019. VALA plays a leading role in bringing together those keen to explore technology trends in libraries, galleries, archives and museums. The networking opportunities encourage collaboration for the benefit of our knowledge sector as a whole.

Participants will have the chance to share ideas over two days in this intensive, hands-on learning program. This is an excellent opportunity for the tech-savvy and the tech-challenged to work together to gain practical coding skills.

The City of Melbourne is proud to sponsor this event. As a knowledge city, Melbourne harnesses the collective power of minds and skills to drive our prosperity. We support adult education, research and innovation and foster a culture of lifelong learning.

As you gather in our city, I invite to explore our parks and gardens, heritage architecture, theatres and concert halls as well as our fine dining restaurants, bars and enchanting laneways.

Sally Capp

Lord Mayor

City of Melbourne
