Asunto: [IFLA-L] IFLA regretfully cancels the 2010 IFLA World Library and
Information Congress in Brisbane, Australia

In 2007 IFLA announced Brisbane, Australia as the location for the IFLA World
Library and Information Congress (WLIC) for 2010. It is our great regret to
advise that the2010 IFLA WLIC will not be held in Brisbane. With the uncertainty
around the world economic crisis combined with very limited opportunity for
government and local financial support the Governing Board has agreed that it
cannot risk a potential significant financial loss for IFLA. This is a great
disappointment for the Governing Board members, the National Committee members,
our Australian colleagues, and I'm sure all of you looking forward to the 2010
WLIC in Brisbane. We will be announcing separately the new location for the 2010
IFLA WLIC.

The IFLA Governing Board very much appreciates the hard work of our Australian
National Committee colleagues in their efforts to secure government and local
industry funding support. At the time of the selection of Brisbane the bid
committee advised Governing Board that there would be very limited opportunity
for this funding support. The Governing Board was optimistic that this situation
would change and that enough support would be identified to make the WLIC
financially viable.

A significant contribution to the WLIC by local government and industry is
required for IFLA to offer its members and delegates, sponsors and exhibitors
the services and quality they expect in our flagship congress. This
contribution, in funds and in kind, assists us in the provision of features such
as audio visual support, simultaneous interpretation, IFLA Express in our seven
languages, the cultural evening and services for our exhibitors.

The Governing Board members thank the Brisbane National Committee members for
alerting them to the impact of limited local funding and possible reduced
delegate numbers due to the world economic crisis and restrictions on travel
budgets.
