Why submit to present at RIMM 2026?
-
- Sessions are driven by the community, for the value of the community.
Members have the opportunity to shape the schedule for this year’s member meeting so that it can be as useful and rewarding as possible. What challenges have you faced in your role this year? What technical questions have been on your mind? Which REN-ISAC Special Interest Groups are having fascinating, valuable discussions? Bring these topics (and more) to RIMM 2026! - Engage with colleagues from all over the world.
While distance and time zones might normally create barriers to networking and collaborating with REN-ISAC colleagues in different parts of the world, RIMM 2026 will aim to reach all our members. This is the opportunity to hear new perspectives, spark discussions, and engage with our vast network of almost 800 member institutions. - There are no conference fees, no hotel reservations, no airline tickets, and no travel approvals needed.
The virtual format is designed to make participation simple. No need to worry about the cost of attendance or travel details, this year’s member meeting is 100% virtual and 100% free to attend for member representatives.
