The Running Industry Alliance (RIA) has confirmed the new dates for The Running Conference 2022, which was due to take place from September 11-13, but was postponed due to the passing of HM Queen Elizabeth II in line with the formal mourning period.
Held at Loughborough University in central England, the rescheduled date is December 11-13, 2022, and the conference will see RIA members from various sectors of the UK running industry get together for ‘The Running Conference Sessions’ content and shared insights.
The conference organisers add that there will be… ‘various brand activations, pop up discovery spaces, industry celebrations, a fundraiser and plenty of networking opportunities including hosted breakfasts, lunches and dinners.’
Whilst The Running Conference location remains at Loughborough University, the organisers had to implement a number of changes due to students being back on campus and some of the previously booked venues not being available during the academic year. This sees a move to a different part of the campus to what is described as a ‘state of the art conference venue’.
The theme of The Running Conference 2022 is ‘Impactful Collaborations’ with a focus around connecting, supporting, educating, sharing, amplifying, networking and growing. Details about the speakers, insight sessions and panel discussions will be unveiled to attendees shortly.
RIA Co-Leads Rebecca Richardson and Jonathan Midwood said “We are pleased to confirm the new date for the much-anticipated The Running Conference #TRC22 and are looking forward to delivering the conference this December at the perfect venue and location.
“The Running Conference will be packed with lots of exciting and purposeful content, insights, activations, education, discovery and networking opportunities, and we can’t wait for everyone to get together and benefit from each other’s experience and knowledge. The schedule will be very similar to the original format that we announced, with just a few tweaks taking in some new locations on the campus, winter weather and daylight changes.
“The move has allowed us to open up additional places for #TRC22 from 250 attendees to 280 attendees, and the response to the new date has been very positive.”
