The International Knowledge Conference (IKC) has its humble beginning in the first knowledge conference held in 2005. It was called the Knowledge Conference 2005 and the theme was Making Libraries Relevant. Co-organised with Angkatan Zaman Mansang[1], the participants were mainly information professionals and library staff from Malaysia. Ten years later, when Pustaka Negeri Sarawak (Pustaka) wanted to spread its influence globally, the first IKC was initiated.

The IKC is a venue for researchers and practitioners especially in the ASEAN[2] region to connect with the international research communities for exchange of ideas and sharing of knowledge in the field of Library and Information Science, Knowledge Management, Archives and Records Management and other related fields. Rapid developments in the field of information and communication technology is creating a 'cultural shock' especially in the way people create and share contents, the way corporate entities are capturing and disseminating information, and the way governments are harnessing on supposedly 'personal data'. Libraries, archives and other cultural institutions worldwide are being challenged, by this revolution, to continue their noble role as gateway to knowledge. This role is the basis for continued prosperity and development of society and individuals.
