RYA CONNECTED CONFERENCE

Supporting leaders and inspiring the future of our affiliate network

The annual RYA Connected Conferences are a fantastic opportunity for affiliates to come together in person, hear from their peers and guest speakers, share ideas and pick up practical advice to help their organisations and our sport to thrive.

Whether you’re currently involved in the leadership or governance of a club, or aspire to be in the future, you can harness the power of our community to gain new insights and inspiration to take back to your club, class or setting.

All events are FREE to attend. Explore our event calendar, share the details and book your space today.

Agenda highlights

This year’s agenda will focus on equipping you with tools and knowledge to support and develop the next generation of leaders in our sport. We’ll help you find ways to upskill a bigger and broader range of volunteers so that they feel empowered to contribute their energy and ideas.

The conferences are free to attend.
