TNC25: Brighton, UK | 9-13 June 2025
SOCIAL EVENTS
This event is the perfect opportunity for speakers and session chairs to meet, discuss presentations, catch up with community members and make new connections.
By invite only
Light snacks and drinks will be served.
The traditional TNC Morning Run will be held on Tuesday, starting at 7am in front of the entrance to Brighton Pier. The run will cover a distance of 5km and last approximately one hour. We will head along the seafront, with pauses included to catch breath, chat with fellow runners and learn a bit about our host city. This is a great way to meet people that you might not otherwise come across at TNC. If you haven’t joined us on the run before, and are tempted, do come along. It will be a great social event and is a great way to get the mind alert for the sessions and discussions to follow that day.

The Opening Reception will take place at the Brighton Dome, TNC25’s main venue, on Tuesday 10 June, right after the last parallel session of the day. This is your first chance to socialise with other delegates, meet the speakers and engage with our exhibitors.
