University of Reading
Monday 28 – Wednesday 30 June 2027
The Annual RES Conference is our flagship event to which we welcome over 600 participants. In 2027, this not-to-be-missed event will kindly be hosted by the Economics Department at the University of Reading; hugely convenient for London by train and London airports.
The conference offers opportunities to present research and develop networks with fellow economists across academic, government, private and third sector organisations. We have a great programme of traditional keynote lectures, special sessions and general sessions alongside fringe events such as masterclasses, professional development and social events.
Applications to present research via a General, Speed or Poster session open in October 2026. Special Session applications are open all year.
The RES Annual Conference offers sponsors a range of options; from exhibiting to shaping the programme and conference content. To get involved in our 2027 Conference, please contact Georgina Jenkins, RES Head of Events via events@res.org.uk for early access to sponsorship packages.
