About the event

The UKSG Annual Conference is a major event in the scholarly communications calendar. In its 50th anniversary year it attracts librarians, publishers, content providers, consultants and intermediaries from around the world. The programme combines high-quality plenary presentations, lightning talks, workshops, posters and breakout sessions with social events and a trade exhibition.

Registration for the 2027 conference will open later in 2026. The call for topics has closed; the Programme Committee is reviewing submissions. Exhibition bookings open later in the year. Sponsorship is handled by Content Online.

Venue and travel

The conference is held at the Scottish Event Campus (SEC) in Glasgow. Accommodation is not included in the delegate fee; the official accommodation booking service will be managed by the Glasgow Convention Bureau. ScotRail offers a Conference Rover ticket for travel between the city centre and the SEC.
