Get ready for valuable connection, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing!
Sherry Takudo from the World Bank Group attended last year’s DPC Members Forum in The Hague, which was kindly hosted by the KB National Library of the Netherlands. Sherry says:
“The two-day event was a great opportunity to meet people, exchange ideas, and explore solutions. The atmosphere was welcoming and energizing, and the regional opportunity made it easy to join in person and to share common experiences. I gained insights and tips for future consultations. The thoughtful redesign of the library's conference venue, which we also learned about and appreciated, evidently assisted our open interaction.”
