RSGB Convention

RSGB 2025 Convention – too good to miss!

The RSGB’s 2025 Convention took place in October and was a fantastic weekend of presentations, forums, drop-in sessions and workshops. There was also lots of time to socialise, find out about special interest groups and RSGB committees, and meet people in person that you’ve spoken to on the radio! Here’s a snapshot of the weekend – can you spot yourself or your friends?

We’re delighted that the event was sponsored by Martin Lynch & Sons and that AMSAT-UK held its Colloquium during the Convention again this year.

Speakers

Our keynote speaker this year was Professor Lucie Green who talked about “Seeing total solar eclipses from space”.

You can read more about Lucie and all the other speakers on our speaker page.

Presentations and our livestream

The RSGB Convention is renowned for assembling a unique collection of entertaining, intriguing and thought-provoking speakers. We had a fabulous line-up of speakers, organised into three streams: Discover, Learn, Progress.

If you were there and couldn’t fit in everything you wanted to see, why not watch the livestreams from each day? Click here to watch the Saturday livestream and here to watch the Sunday livestream.

Over the coming weeks and months we will be sharing some presentations for everyone to see on YouTube and others just for RSGB members.

Practical activities

We held a number of drop-in sessions, forums and workshops.

You can see full details of the three workshops that were held on our workshops page.

RSGB Committees and Special Interest Groups

One of the most interesting aspects of the Convention is the selection of RSGB Committees and special interest groups that attend. This year that included AMSAT, ARDF, BATC, BYLARA, Chiltern DX Club, Radio Officers ARS, RAOTA, RAYNET, UKBOTA, RSGB Contest Committees, RSGB EMC Committee, UK Microwave Group, VMARS, Worked all Britain, WRTC 2026 and RSGB Youth Team.

We spoke to most of them during the weekend and shared those interviews on our livestream.
