Annual Conference Class of 2027

Returning to the Annual Conference 2027 programme is the ‘Class of’ series.

This year we are asking you to put yourself or a junior colleague forward to be part of the cohort.

The 2027 TED talk style sessions will focus on a range of technical topics within the main conference programme. The cohort will receive mentoring support to develop their presentation and form a close-knit network of peers.

This is a fantastic opportunity to develop as a restructuring, turnaround or insolvency professional, and to showcase your firm's talent. All R3 members with less than 8 years’ experience in the profession are eligible. We are particularly looking for those who have not presented before and are interested in hearing from R3 members across the whole profession. Those selected will gain discounted places at the 2027 Annual Conference in Croatia, or can apply for a Bursary place for complimentary travel, conference entrance and accommodation.

To apply to present, please email a 500 word extract by Monday 23 November to membership@r3.org.uk outlining the topic you would like to present on, why you are best placed to present on this topic and a short bio outlining your work experience so far. Suggested topics we would welcome proposals around are shared below, or do put forward your own idea! 

Please do encourage a talented colleague to apply or put yourself forward!
