We are delighted to share that this year’s Welcome Reception will take place in the Asian and African Gallery at the Royal Armouries Museum.

This informal evening marks the official start of the Annual Conference and offers a great chance to reconnect with Scholars and friends, meet new faces, and enjoy relaxed networking in a striking gallery setting. With food, conversation, and a cash‑or‑card bar available, it’s a wonderful way to begin the week.

Everyone is warmly invited to join us
