11. Visit the RGS-IBG Collections
The RGS-IBG houses an extensive collection of over 2 million maps, books,

exploration, and illustrate the world’s people and places. Each lunchtime, 13:30-14:00,
there will be a series of displays in the Foyle Reading Room which showcase some of
the highlights of the Collections. Throughout the conference there will also be the
