iConference 2027 to be hosted by Victoria University of Wellington

The iSchools Organization is happy to announce that the iConference 2027 will be hosted by the Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, Oceania!

City of Wellington

The iConference is an annual gathering of a broad spectrum of scholars and researchers from around the world who share a common concern about critical information issues in contemporary society. The iConference pushes the boundaries of information studies, explores core concepts and ideas, and creates new technological and conceptual configurations—all situated in interdisciplinary discourses.

The iConference series was established in 2005 by the iSchools Organization, a growing worldwide association of Information Schools dedicated to advancing the information field, and preparing students to meet the information challenges of the 21st Century. Each annual iConference is hosted by a different iSchools member institution or co-hosted by members jointly.

The iConference locations rotate annually to maximize representation and participation of the iSchools members in all three regions. 

With iConference 2026 taking place in the United Kingdom, iConference 2027 will again be hosted in the Asia-Pacific Region.
