ARA Feedback Sessions

Available by arrangement to entrants in the 2026 Awards.

Feedback Sessions on entries in the 2026 Awards will commence as soon as possible after entrants are notified their results in early May 2026. Register at the ARA website from late April.

A Feedback Session is a private discussion held online via Zoom (or the equivalent) with a senior ARA Adjudicator who participated in the assessment of the annual report entered in the Awards. The discussion will identify the strengths and weaknesses of the report, and provide constructive advice and guidance on how to make improvements in your next annual report. This feedback will help you to produce a better report - or make a good report great!

Bookings for all 2026 ARA Events will open in April 2026.
