Registration for the 2026 Conference

Open from 13 October 2025

Highly Discounted or Free tickets available
for Librarians, Academics and
others working in Academic Institutions

The 2026 Researcher to Reader Conference will be our normal 2-day interactive, collaborative conversation.

When registration is open, you can create your new Conference registration by going to our Registration Site. There is more information below and throughout our website about our outstanding Programme, great Testimonials and excellent Feedback.

Our registration site is designed to allow an application for one ticket by one person, who will need to create (or update) their own account. If you want to register on behalf of someone else, you can do this by creating a new account on their behalf, using their email address; they will receive the ticket by email. If you have already registered for yourself, and now wish to register for a new person, you may need to log out, or use an ‘incognito’ browser window, to be able to create a new account for that person.

We believe that R2R is already a good value event for two very full days of content, but we work particularly hard to make it affordable for people in academic institutions, and for those early in their careers, both representing vital voices in our meeting.

To continue to grow our great reputation for inclusive and informed conversations, we are making two very attractive new offers for R2R 2026:

• We have increased our generous academic discounts, which are now 85% off standard prices, to make tickets highly affordable for anyone who works in a university or other academic organisation.
• We have introduced a new ‘academic partner’ free ticket, to be issued to each of the first 50 Regular or Returning registrants, for them to give to a person who works in a university or other academic organisation (excluding people working in university presses).

We continue to offer our usual discounts for ‘early birds’, returning delegates and concessions.

All prices are in GBP plus 20% tax. Payment is by debit or credit card. Terms and conditions apply.

The registration rates are:

Regular Participant Rate: For anyone who does not qualify for a discount under any of the other tariffs.

Returning Participant Rate: For anyone who has attended a previous Researcher to Reader Conference.

Librarian or Academic Rate: For anyone whose main occupation is as a librarian or researcher, or who is a member or employee of an academic institution.

Concession Participant Rate: For anyone who is unemployed, who works in an organisation that has a complement of between 1 and 8 people, or is a resident of a country on the Research4Life eligibility list.

Sponsor Discounted Rate: For any employee of an organisation that is a sponsor of the upcoming event, at time of registration. Some sponsorship packages also include one or more complimentary admissions.

^{There is also a Contributor / Speaker Rate: Free or discounted admission to the Conference is offered to all speakers or other contributors who are invited to participate in delivery of the programme (excluding Lightning Talk presenters). Details are given on the Call for Papers webpage, and eligible contributors will be provided with a special code, once the programme is finalised. We do, however, encourage contributors to volunteer to support the Conference by paying a full or concessionary rate on registration if this is affordable for them or their organisation.}
