The conference timeline is slightly more condensed than in previous years. We encourage delegates to review the key dates carefully and to submit registrations and abstracts as early as possible, and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we finalise arrangements.
We are delighted to confirm that ARA 2026 will be held at the Radisson Blu in Glasgow, and we very much look forward to returning to Scotland. We are excited to welcome delegates to this excellent venue and vibrant city for what promises to be a stimulating and engaging conference.
As always, the three keynote talks will be carefully curated to align with the conference theme of Authenticity. Details of our keynote speakers will be announced in due course; please visit this website regularly for the latest updates and further information.
