Types of events
Our meetings have a friendly, open atmosphere that encourages contributions from the audience and networking.
Afternoon seminars are organised by the Society's Special Interest Group on Innovation and Best Practice. These are usually arranged to coincide with our evening meetings of the R&D Society.
Our evening events are programmed from autumn to summer, and consist of keynote talks and panel discussions, followed by a drinks reception. Some evening events are followed by an informal dinner, at which discussion continues under the Chatham House Rule.
