This dedication and approach will be applied to #TRC24 in December.

The Running Conference 2024 presented by haku is the largest annual RIA Member in-person meet up and features meticulously curated content focusing on relevant and impactful topics for the sport and business of Running. Key themes include The Market Place; Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB); Health and Wellbeing; Research, Data, and Insights; Sustainability and Future. Attendees can expect a dynamic mix of speakers, panels, workshops, roundtable discussions, activations, celebrations, and ample industry (B2B) networking opportunities.

Particular attention has been placed on the level of attending delegates from RIA Membership organisations representing decision makers for the UK, Ireland and Europe, with the overall aim to create meaningful and purposeful engagement. The conference is set to be a sellout again this year with a cap on the capacity at the venue.

New elements for 2024 include product first looks, data and reporting advancements, further opportunities to network and make new long-term connections, and specific breakout meetings for retail, brands, events and charities. More details will be announced soon.
