ARMA 2026 to be held in Harrogate

We are delighted to announce that the next ARMA Annual Conference will take place on 16 – 18 June 2026 at the Harrogate Convention Centre (HCC).

The ARMA Conference aims to promote excellence in research management and administration. It is our flagship learning, development and networking event, offering opportunities to share good practice through plenary and parallel sessions, poster presentations and a commercial exhibition. It is the great opportunity to network, share your knowledge and gain valuable insights from colleagues and experts.

Andrew Emery and Laura Gower, co-chairs of the Conference Working Group, said “We are delighted to have secured the Harrogate Convention Centre for ARMA 2026. This contemporary venue, set in the heart of a beautiful historic town, offers the perfect blend of space, charm and world-class facilities to support our growing event. Planning is already underway and we’re excited to create a programme shaped by you—the ARMA research community. Harrogate 2026 will be packed with learning, networking and plenty of opportunities to celebrate the brilliant work of research professionals. We look forward to welcoming you next June!”

Preparations for ARMA 2026 are in progress with a call for topics now open. ARMA members and non-members are invited to suggest relevant topics and areas in research management that should be covered in the conference programme. The deadline for submitting topic ideas is Sunday 20 July 2025.
