Connect Lounge


In-between the formal conference programme, take some time and join us in the Connect Lounge, situated in the exhibition hall near the RCGP stand. 

Here you’ll find a casual, informal drop-in space where you can take part in personal conversations, network, and build relationships in a relaxed setting with different College communities. Over the two days, come and engage with established member groups and learn about the emerging ideas taking place within the RCGP landscape.
