Planning your trip to Bilbao and DRS2022
We have planned DRS2022 to take a little longer than standard conferences to provide time for networking and also integrate the online and in-person elements of the conference. For this reason, we thought we'd give you a quick overview of the programme so you can plan your travel and accommodation accordingly. Rather than having one conference dinner, as usual, we have three keynote dinner events throughout the week. All will be special occasions.
From Saturday 25th June to Saturday 2nd July, and through the week, there is an extensive fringe programme of cultural and design events.
Bilbao is a wonderful place and we highly recommend taking a bit of extra time to experience all that the city and the conference have to offer!
