Connected Conferences are back

Last year we launched the first of the RYA Connected Conferences, bringing together a community of 550 delegates from 290 boating organisations across the UK.

Good news- RYA Connected Conferences are back for 2024 with more opportunities for you to connect, listen and exchange knowledge, helping you to thrive.

Free conferences and development workshops

We’re inviting clubs, Sailability providers, class associations, charities and club-based training centres to join us again this autumn for a series of free conferences and development workshops.

Online booking will be launched in September.

“We were delighted to welcome so many of you last year for the launch of our Connected events. We had lots of positive feedback and we hear that what made the biggest difference to you was the opportunity to share ideas with other like-minded people with the same challenges” said RYA Head of Regions, Gareth Brookes.

“We know there’s also the appetite to meet our team of RYA technical experts so they will be on-hand to provide the latest news and updates on those topics that matter most to your organisation”.

We want to hear from you

These are your events so please help us to shape them by emailing to tell us which topics you would like to see on the agenda this year.
