Call for session sponsorship – RGS-IBG annual conference 2025

The RGS-IBG Social and Cultural Geography Research Group (SCGRG) would like to invite expressions of interest for sponsored sessions for the RGS-IBG 2025 Annual Conference, which will take place in Birmingham and online from the evening of Tuesday 26th to Friday 29th August.

The theme for the 2025 Annual Conference, chaired by Professor Patricia Noxolo (University of Birmingham, UK), is ‘Geographies of Creativity/Creative Geographies’. You can find out more about the conference at: https://www.rgs.org/research/annual-international-conference

SCGRG is keen to sponsor sessions that directly relate to the conference theme, as well as make room for a wide range of other issues and topics. We welcome sessions which will be of wide significance and interest to social and cultural geographers, will meaningfully contribute to ongoing debates in social and cultural geography, and demonstrate substantive, methodological or theoretical novelty.

Please take note of the guidelines for session organisers: https://www.rgs.org/research/annual-international-conference/call-for-sessions-papers-and-posters

We will endeavour to inform applicants of the outcome by Monday 24th February 2025.
