Upcoming events and conferences in which we'll be participating are listed below. To book a place or find out more about non-SRA events, please contact the organisers directly.

If you would like to invite an SRA speaker to your event, all requests must be submitted using our speaker request form. Please do not contact individual members of staff directly.
We aim reply to requests within two weeks. We need at least six-eight weeks notice before an event to consider your request.
We consider the following when reviewing each request:
- how topical the event is to SRA work and priorities;
- availability of appropriate speakers; and
- size and suitability of the audience
Please note as a public sector regulator we are unable to accept invitations where we feel that one of the main purposes of the event is to:
- promote the work or services of a specific commercial organisation; or
- generate new business or other revenue creating opportunities for the host/organiser/third parties
