This will be a wonderful night and a chance to dress up in your finest evening attire or come in whatever you are comfortable in.
Awards ceremony for the Library Design Awards, other Awards TBC.
This evening is a time to bring together people to celebrate and enjoy the opportunity to be able to all gather, learn and connect while letting your hair down and dancing till you can’t dance anymore. This dinner is the perfect opportunity to build new professional connections as well as re-connect with colleagues and industry partners. Surrounded by fellow conference attendees you can get to know your industry in a low key, relaxed environment.
Don’t forget to have your photo taken at the photo booth and share them online using the hashtag #National26.
Tickets are $155 per person and can be purchased during the registration process, or at a later date.
