The countdown is on! Next month, the National Rural Conference 2026 brings together rural leaders, policymakers and practitioners from across the country for four days of discussion, insight and practical learning.
Taking place online from 14 – 17 September, this year’s conference will explore the issues shaping the future of rural communities, including fair funding, affordable housing, health and social care, transport, digital connectivity, net zero and the role of evidence in influencing policy.
The National Rural Conference is a member benefit, with free places available to eligible RSN members, making it an excellent opportunity to access expert insight, hear the latest policy developments and share experiences with colleagues from across the rural sector.
Whether you’re looking to keep up with the latest policy developments, hear fresh ideas, or connect with others working across the rural sector, the conference offers valuable insights that you can take back to your own organisation and the rural communities you represent.
With a flexible online format, you can join the sessions most relevant to your role or attend the full programme across the four days.
If you haven’t booked yet, now is the perfect time to explore the programme, meet our speakers and secure your place. We look forward to welcoming you in September.
