The TaPRA Annual Conference 2024 will be hosted by Northumbria University in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, from Wednesday 4 September to Friday 6 September.
It will be a hybrid event, facilitating participation by online delegates alongside those attending in person. Since our conference in 2021, we have been able to experience many benefits of online conferencing, such as increased opportunity for international presenters, lower financial costs to participate, greater accessibility for those with caring responsibilities, etc. The 2024 conference at Northumbria aims to retain the wider opportunities for engagement that online platforms offer, while also creating a space for in-person engagement and social interaction.
The conference programme will include:
