RRC Annual Conference 2027

28th Annual Network Conference

27th - 28th April 2027

EICC Edinburgh

We are excited to announce that our 2027 conference will be held in Edinburgh. Yes, after 20 years away we are heading back to Scotland following a record breaking conference of 630 people at Newport, Wales.

Our venue - the EICC - is located in the heart of the city for those looking to mix in some cultural activities, with stunning natural environments and dynamic river systems just a short drive away. It promises to be one of our best events yet.
