SSSUK holds a Symposium and a General Meeting every year, usually in September. Minutes of the Annual General Meeting of the Society are available here. In recent years Symposia have adopted a particular theme and have included presentations, discussion panels, musical and poetry performances and film showings. Members are invited to contribute to symposia programming early in the year and also regularly help to deliver and support the event itself.

The fostering of international links is also important and the Society is in regular contact with other similar societies. SSSUK cooperates with our sister organisation the Sudan Studies Association of North America (SSA) and others in the organisation of International Sudan Studies Conferences. These have been held in Khartoum (1988), Durham (1991), Boston (1994), Cairo (1997), Durham (2000), Washington DC (2003), Bergen (2006), Pretoria (2009) and Bonn (2012).

Past symposium programmes are made available here. Please note that some programmes are not yet available online.
