Our EventsThe BIG Event
The BIG Event is our biggest event of the year. This 2.5 day conference held in July is based at a different UK venue every year. To book this year's event or to find out more, visit our Events Calendar here
The programme sessions cover a wide range of issues and topics in informal science education, and are usually presented in a hands-on and interactive way. There is also plenty of opportunity for networking with other science communicators.
"The BIG Event is not a conference, it is far more than that. The event offers a friendly, relaxed environment where people come together to support each other and share knowledge. A brilliant experience which left me with a head full of new ideas and a renewed passion for what I do." - Rebecca Cottrell, Engineering Education Consultant and Research Student
"Who knew a conference could be so much fun?!" - Luiza Patorski, Science Oxford

We also run several other events during the year, often one-day training courses based on a particular topic. They are held at various venues in the UK.
Some of the recent past topics have been on Running Hybrid Events, How to Train Researchers, Social Media in Science Communication and The Power of Cryogenic Science. Check out our Events Calendar for upcoming events you might be interested in.
