The Functional Workshop at RSS will take place on Wednesday, 18 March 2026, the day before the main RSS meeting. Running from 9:00am to 5:00pm, this immersive, full‑day workshop is designed to provide attendees with a highly interactive and practical experience ahead of the main conference.
The workshop will feature expert‑led breakout planning sessions, each facilitated by luminary leaders in the field with extensive real‑world experience. These sessions will combine concise thought‑leadership presentations with small‑group, solution‑focused discussions, enabling participants to explore challenges, share perspectives, and co‑develop meaningful, actionable approaches.
Emphasis will be placed on peer‑to‑peer collaboration, strategic planning, and the translation of insight into practice. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage directly with experts, network with colleagues facing similar challenges, and contribute to discussions that help shape priorities and strategies ahead of the main RSS meeting.
