Join us live for RSN’s biggest event of the year – 15 to 18 September

We’re excited to announce that the National Rural Conference 2025 will take place from Monday 15th to Thursday 18th September – and preparations are already in full swing! 

This is RSN’s flagship online event, bringing together rural leaders, service providers, policymakers and community champions from across the country. If you’re passionate about ensuring rural areas are heard and included, this is the week to be there.

Save the date! Booking details will be announced soon.

A look back at last year

Our 2024 conference brought together 655 delegates across four action-packed days. We hosted 30 expert speakers, explored the latest challenges and innovations, and logged over 1,300 hours of rural-focused discussion.

It was our biggest and most dynamic event yet – and 2025 is shaping up to be even better.

What’s coming up this year

The 2025 conference will feature eight themed sessions, each diving into a critical area for rural communities:

Each session is live and interactive – and recordings will not be made available after the event, so we strongly encourage you to attend on the day to take part in real-time discussions and put your questions to our speakers.

Your voice matters – get involved!

This is a member-exclusive opportunity, and we want it to reflect the breadth and depth of our network. So, we’re inviting:

• Speaker suggestions
• Project showcases
• Case studies or initiatives you’d like to present
• Panel participation

If you’ve got something to share – or someone we should hear from – we want to know!
