Spotlight on our seminars - 2020 Programme

The Rural Services Network is excited to launch our RSN 2020 Seminar Programme

Each year we provide a range of seminar/networking events across the breadth of the country, with one event taking place in each region. 

We recognised that not all of our member organisations were able to attend our London meetings due to pressures with time and travel cost, so we decided to change our approach to ensure that we were also hosting events closer to our members.

Each seminar is focused on a particular subject, with speakers generally sharing their knowledge and experience in the morning, and group discussion on the designated subject and regional issues in the afternoon.

We also feature one of our Rural Services Partnership organisations at each seminar for them to share their experiences.

So far 6 of our local authorities have kindly offered to host a seminar for 2020 and we will be finalising the 7th venue shortly.
