GA Conference 2023 - Booking now open



The 2023 Conference will be held at Sheffield Hallam University and have an updated structure from previous years.


Day one will begin at 12.00 on Thursday 13 April with a welcome from our President Alastair Owens and include your choice of a range of field visits, a place at one of our networking events, and the Conference Dinner, as well as the annual GA awards ceremony, Public Lecture and drinks reception.

Days two and three will feature the usual diverse range of lectures, workshops, Teacher-to-Teacher and research paper sessions, as well as our usual exhibition and social events.

The conference will draw to a close at 16.00 on Saturday 15 April.

We are continuing to offer a hybrid conference, with full face-to-face Conference supplemented by a slimmed-down online version streamed via our dedicated platform.

The face to face Conference at Sheffield Hallam University will include a programme of over 100 lectures, workshops, teacher-to-teacher sessions, research papers and field visits with social events in the evening and the opportunity to network with other delegates and exhibitors.

It's a highlight of the academic year.

The online version will include a combination of lectures and workshops but the programme will be smaller than the face to face version with roughly half the sessions available.


If you have put in a proposal for a session as the lead presenter you may want to delay a little to see whether it has been accepted as you will get free day's delegates fees on the day that you are presenting.

A booking portal will open shortly, but there are many hotel options in the city of Sheffield and the venue is very close to the train station.

Free registration is available to students who are members of the GA. 

Student registration does not include lunch, however there are several outlets where you can purchase food. Students who are not members of the GA should join to recieve free entry or book as a student non-member.

More details will emerge over the coming months as the programme begins to take shape. Thanks to all those who took the time to propose a lecture or workshop, or field visit.
