Preparations are well underway for GA Conference 2025 and Hina Robinson's conference.
The programme is on the GA website.
Good to see what Emma Rawlings-Smith is giving the Rex Walford Lecture, and Anjana Khatwa the Public Lecture - talking about her forthcoming book.
A feature of the GA Conference for some years now is the chance for young people to attend as well. This is called GEO Live.
Details are below. Sign up on this page.
GEO Live: Future Changemakers will take place on Thursday 17 April 2025 at the GA Annual Conference and Exhibition in Oxford.
This programme, designed specially for students aged 14–18, will enthuse them about geography and its wide-ranging applications, enable them to think beyond school toward university and possible careers in geography.
Teachers can bring up to six students each to the GA Annual Conference on Thursday 17 April, where they will take part in their own programme of sessions, including workshops and special talks with young geographers, influencers and academics.
Places are free of charge and available to students of GA members only. One teacher must be booked to attend Conference as a delegate to secure the places.
To book a place for your students, and for any queries, please complete the form.
