Bulawayo Connect
59th Zimbabwe Library Association Annual Conference
A national professional conference on future-ready libraries, access, innovation and impact.

The Zimbabwe Library Association’s 59th Annual Conference brings librarians, information professionals, educators and partners together in Bulawayo from 21 to 24 September 2026. The conference is listed as taking place at Rainbow Hotel. Registration, programme and delegate arrangements should be confirmed through the official conference website.
Who the conference is for
The event is relevant to librarians, records and information professionals, researchers, students, education leaders, technology partners and organisations concerned with access to knowledge. Check the published programme to judge whether the sessions match your role and current work.
Prepare before registering
Review delegate categories, what the fee includes, accommodation arrangements and the cancellation policy. If attending on behalf of an organisation, agree learning objectives in advance and plan how key points will be shared afterwards.
Make the most of the event
Choose sessions deliberately rather than attempting everything. Bring concise information about your institution or project, ask specific questions and record follow-up actions while conversations are fresh. Networking is more useful when it leads to a clear exchange, introduction or next meeting.
Confirm current details
Conference programmes can change. Use the official link in the fact panel for registration, speakers, times and venue updates. Bulawayo Connect does not process payments or issue delegate confirmations.
