RDF23

Taking place in Newcastle from 21st to 23rd May 2023, RDF23 brought together over 850 attendees, 60 speakers, and 30 exhibitors to learn, share, and network. The success of this return to in-person events, following Covid-19, was due to a combination of key elements: attendees, presentations, workshops, the exhibition, and networking opportunities.

RDF23 began on the Sunday afternoon with a guided tour of Newcastle, providing attendees with an opportunity to see the sights and history of the city. This led into the choice of two workshops for delegates, before networking – the perfect pre-conference icebreaker.

The main sessions occurred over the following days, featuring industry experts, panel discussions, keynote presentations, and parallel sessions across 10 different streams, all covering a wide range of important topics, alongside a busy exhibition.

Monday evening featured the highly anticipated Conference Dinner, where attendees enjoyed networking and excellent food.
