The OCLC Europe, Middle East and Africa Regional Council (EMEARC) Annual Meeting provides a chance for OCLC members and others across the EMEA Region to come together. The first three EMEARC meetings were held in the Netherlands, Germany, and most recently in the United Kingdom. Each year the meeting has attracted more and more participants from throughout the region who come together to hear about and discuss cutting edge developments and technology, relevant to library services.

This year's meeting, titled Dynamic Data: a world of possibilities, will explore the rapid evolutions of data management and the agendas that are driving the revolution in technology. Sessions such as The Power of Shared Data, Linked Data and Innovating with Data will present a broad spectrum of opportunities for libraries to innovate their services. Complete details about the meeting are available on the OCLC EMEA Regional Council Annual Meeting page.
