The brainchild of Mario Casalini, Rebecca Lenzini and Katina Strauch, the Fiesole Collection Development Retreat Series was established on the basis of a shared idea and desire to foster and stimulate dialogue and collaboration within the scholarly communication sector.
The Fiesole Retreat is an informal meeting of leading library and information industry participants devoted to thinking through and debating the new world order in collection development.
The Fiesole Retreat offers a unique opportunity to interact with a select group of your colleagues in a relaxed and thoughtful setting.

It is with great sorrow that we learned of the untimely death of Filippos Tsimpoglou, General Director of the National Library of Greece.
Filippos' passion and dedication to his field were matched by experience and vision as he guided his library towards the future. He was an enthusiastic collaborator and tireless in his contribution to and support for international dialogue around librarianship.
We will remember him as a truly warm and welcoming host to us during last year's Fiesole Retreat in Athens, and as an inspirational colleague who will be sadly missed.
