ARC Annual Conference and Exhibition 2023

ARC Annual Conference, DoubleTree by Hilton Brighton Metropole, 8 - 10th November, 2023

We’re delighted to announce that the ARC Annual Conference and Exhibition 2023 will be held in Brighton on Wednesday 8th - Friday 10th November at the DoubleTree by Hilton Brighton Metropole. Our last Annual Conference, held in Liverpool during November 2022, highlighted the value of in-person events and we’re looking forward to welcoming you back again face-to-face.

We are currently developing the conference theme and agenda and bookings are now open. For the first time, we will be providing colleagues with the opportunity to register at an Early Bird rate for our full packages. Closing on midday Monday 17th July. 

This year, we’ve curated a variety of opportunities to network and socialise with new and existing colleagues including:

  • Wednesday Evening Social – an informal and relaxed opening to the Conference held within the hotel, providing colleagues with the chance to welcome newcomers to ARC over nibbles and a drink. This event is open to all delegates.
  • Brighton i360 – We’ll be providing delegates with the opportunity to take a private flight on Brighton’s i360, offering 360 degrees views of the sea and the city 138 metres in the sky!
  • Conference Dinner & Drinks Reception- We're excited to announce that this year we have exclusive access to the iconic Brighton Palace Pier – you'll experience an evening of fun and nostalgia in this delightful historic venue.
Delegate registration information: 

At this years' Annual Conference, we're delighted to tell you that registration for conference is not limited to only the primary and secondary contacts from a member institution. This year, we're welcoming you to register colleagues who may have an interest in ARC or in this years' conference programme. We're also encouraging further registration from non-members of ARC, we've attached a file that outlines who is eligible to register.
