An all-day conference bringing Fellows and others across Ireland together to connect and learn.
Join the RSA for their showcase event of 2022 taking place in Triskel Saturday 25 June, where they are bringing Fellows and others across Ireland together to connect and learn.
The focus of the day will be on intersecting key areas of interest to Fellows and the RSA under the banners of ‘Belonging’ and ‘Identity’.
This all-day conference is part of the RSA’s Fellows Festival and will share some similar themes and ideas, bringing to Ireland the latest RSA thinking and strategy and sharing the best of Ireland with the global network of the RSA.
We know how important it is to reconnect with each other and develop new and exciting relationships. So we have ensured there is plenty of opportunity to network and connect across the day during the event and over a delicious lunch. Cork is a beautiful place too and we will encourage you to take time to look around and engage with the warm and welcoming community.
A fuller programme of Fellows’ work being showcased will be circulated nearer the date. Our capacity for numbers is limited by the size of the venue, so right now it would be very helpful if you could register if you intend to join us, so we can have an overview of how many of you wonderful people will be joining us.
Taking part in RSA in-person events
To participate in the event, you will need to register for a ticket so we can make sure we have an up-to-date list of those who plan on attending. This is for capacity purposes. We request that all attendees evaluate their own health and that of those they’re in close contact with. We encourage all attendees that are ill or showing symptoms of illness to stay home and to cancel your Eventbrite ticket if you are no longer able to join the event.
