Events and speakers

We organise and take part in a wide range of events and conferences. Come and meet us to find out about what we're doing.

To view recordings of past events, see our listing of on-demand events.

If you would like to invite an SRA speaker to your event, please submit a request using our speaker request form.



Please do not contact individual members of our staff directly to ask them to speak at your event.

We aim to reply to requests within three weeks. In order for us to consider your request, you need to submit it at least six to eight weeks before your event is scheduled to take place.

We take the following into account when reviewing speaker requests:

  • how topical the event is to SRA work and priorities
  • availability of appropriate speakers
  • size and suitability of the audience.

We will assess all requests on a case-by-case basis. However, we are unlikely to accept invitations if we believe that one of the main purposes of the event is:

  • to promote the wider work or services of a specific commercial organisation or potential supplier to businesses operating in the legal sector
  • to generate new business or other revenue-creating opportunities beyond attendance at the event itself for the host/organiser/third parties.

Upcoming events and conferences that we'll be taking part in are listed here. To book a place or find out more about non-SRA events, please contact the organisers directly.
