<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F3864">In 2022, both the UKSG and NASIG conferences return to in-person events, taking place in Telford and Baltimore respectively. While we adjusted to meeting online during the lockdown, attending
these two conferences is a unique opportunity for a developing professional to experience the engaging and rewarding dynamics of a real-life event. Socialising and networking with peers, making new connections, serendipitous discoveries, breaking out of your
own silo to hear from others across the sector. But don’t take our word for it - here is what Katherine Stephan- previous winner- has to say about the award and its impact on her career:</span><span lang="EN-GB"><a href="https://youtu.be/VpfOziUqxNo"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F3864">

the UKSG conference will take place in Telford, UK, from 30th May to 1st June. The NASIG conference will take place in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, from 5th to 9th June. The award winner will be supported by the generous sponsorship of Taylor & Francis Group
for the US trip and will in addition receive full financial support from UKSG to attend the UKSG conference.</span><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
