We are very pleased to announce that our 50th annual RSAI-BIS conference will take place in Bristol on 9th-11th July 2024, as an in-person event. We are very grateful to Professor Emmanouil Tranos for organising the conference, and to the School of Geographical Sciences at the University of Bristol, for hosting the event.
The conference will take place over three days, with a conference dinner on the 11th July, and other social events, including our legendary pub quiz and local excursion, taking place on the other evenings.
We are particularly pleased to announce that the Spatial Economic Analysis Keynote Lecture will be given by Professor Robert Huggins on "Cultures of Possibility and Regional Development: Changing Behaviour, Values and Narratives".
Our Early Career Colloquium, held online since last year, took place in November and set a high bar with very high quality submissions. We look forward to welcoming all participants, and in particular our prize-winners, to Bristol next year.
Call for Abstracts 2024
The call for abstracts is now open, the deadline for abstract submissions is February 14 2024.
If you require earlier confirmation of participation to arrange your visa, please send an email to [email protected].
Special Session Proposals 2024

We hope to see you all then!

We have not blocked rooms for the conference with any of these hotels, so we suggest to book early. If you plan on staying longer, you may take advantage of the Bristol Harbour Festival (19-21 July) and Bristol Pride Day (13 July).
