ARA Conference in Bristol 2025

This year’s theme, “Next Generation: Innovation and Imagination in Recordkeeping,” invites us to explore fresh perspectives, challenge existing norms, and shape the future of our profession.

In an ever-changing world, resilience drives innovation. This conference provides a platform to reflect on successes, learn from challenges, and redefine what’s possible. To ensure a strong and sustainable future for the sector, discussions must be framed around Sustainability, Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion—not as checkboxes but as fundamental pillars of progress.

The ARA want to hear from you! If you work in or have an interest in recordkeeping, they encourage you to submit a proposal and share how you and your organisation are pushing boundaries, embracing change, and bringing imagination to the field. Let’s ask the big questions:
🔹 How can we turn risks into opportunities?
🔹 How do we challenge the status quo and amplify diverse voices?
🔹 How do we make our collections shine and demonstrate their value in a competitive landscape?

Your stories, ideas, and innovations will shape the 2025 conference. Be part of the conversation and help drive the recordkeeping profession forward!
