Thank you to all the speakers, exhibitors, Trustees, clubs, branches and delegates who attended the RLSS UK Conference 2023 and made it memorable. We have updated the links on this page to include the presentations and photos of the day for all those delegates that requested them. These will be updated over the coming days (as we gain permission from the speakers and receive the official photography).
