Bursary applications for #LILAC26 close today at 17:00 (GMT). Full conference places are available for people from under-represented groups & sectors and day delegate places for people who live or work close to #Sheffield. Don’t miss out! buff.ly/oiE5lDT
The logo for the LILAC 2026 conference. The logo is circular with a lilac background, all text within the circle is a white colour and all images are white with a lilac outline, to show detail. At the centre of the circle there are two female figures. They are stood facing forwards but looking in different directions. They are wearing overalls and boots. They both have a cloth hanging out of a pocket and the figure on the right has goggles on her forehead. They each have one arm around the other and their other hand is on their own hip. The figures are based on the Women of Steel bronze sculpture that commemorates the women of Sheffield who worked in the city's steel industry during the First World War and Second World War. It was created by the sculptor Martin Jennings. Above the figures are the words LILAC: The information literacy conference, below the figures is the word Sheffield - all words are in capital letters. To the left of the figures is the number 20 and to the right of the figures is the number 26.
