BSHS Conferences
Annual Conference: the largest event in the BSHS calendar, the annual summer meeting welcomes contributors from all areas of the profession.
This year’s annual event will be online from July 3rd to July 7th. More coming soon!
Postgraduate Conference: an equally important Society institution, the Postgraduate Conference takes place early in the calendar year and is organised entirely by, and for, postgraduate research students.
Other Meetings: details of more specialised conference events, plus joint meetings with other societies, including the four-yearly Three Societies Meeting.
Interested in organising a meeting?
If you have a suggestion for a possible future conference, symposium or public lecture which you think would benefit from BSHS support, we’d like to hear it. The BSHS may be involved at a variety of levels ranging from overall organization to financial or in-kind sponsorship. See BSHS Support for Events for further details.
