Last #CILIPConf18 session! I have nearly made it. Sue Lacey-Bryant, Health Education England on AI our digital future. 85% of 16-75 year olds have a smartphone. More for 18-24 year olds. It is a digital future. Linklaters using chatbots to cover directional enquiries, freeing up time for the professionals.

Last keynote of #CILIPConf18 - Guy Daines' Grexit. Retiring CILIP head of policy. As a "policy wonk", conferences and reports are meat and drink. But most reports are never seen again.

#CILIPConf18 professional registration cafe. Not just for librarians! All info pros. Showing you have a reliable skill set, a shortcut to having to justify it to future employers. But also get more awareness of where you sit in the profession, share best practice, learn from others areas and people, become a better reflective professional.

Tips for networking with @JoWood04 - stressed out experiences of "networking" at a previous conferences - hiding in toilets, going for a walk outside. #canrelate #CILIPConf18 Did a big survey - 238 responses - 42% felt uncomfortable networking, but rated the actual experience higher than the idea of it. Only a third had something to do in the breaks to help facilitate. The worst situation was when people just had to make conversation during breaks.
