RSGB 2023 Convention – a great success

The RSGB 2023 Convention took place last weekend and brought together hundreds in person and as well as many more across the world who watched the livestream.

RSGB General Manager and Convention Chair, Steve Thomas, M1ACB said:

“In addition to the usual varied programme of lectures, I was delighted as Convention Chair to have led the team who introduced new aspects of the weekend, such as the all-day drop-in Buildathon on Saturday which encouraged people to enjoy making something for themselves, and also to learn how to run a similar event at their local club or group to help others develop practical skills.

“We saw presentations about taking amateur radio into schools, young radio amateurs travelling to YOTA camp, as well as the usual mix of fascinating technical talks about many aspects of amateur radio today.

“We also had more RSGB Committees and Groups at the Convention to highlight the important work that the RSGB does through its volunteers.

“We are already receiving an overwhelming amount of positive feedback, but if you did attend the Convention and haven’t yet completed the feedback form, please go to rsgb.org/feedback and share your thoughts.”

The Society will share a small number of Convention presentations on YouTube over the coming weeks and will provide many more for members to view as part of the benefit of RSGB membership.

In addition, you will be able to watch a series of special interviews that were recorded over the weekend. The interview with the RSGB and IRTS Presidents has been released this week and you can see it on the RSGB YouTube channel and also on the RSGB Convention web page
