Return of the Ring: Celebrating Tolkien in 2012 was a five-day conference organised by the Tolkien Society to mark the 75th anniversary of the publication of The Hobbit. Held at Loughborough University 1620 August 2012, it brought together a unique mixture of fun, fandom and scholarship. In addition to the excellent selection of scholars featured in these proceedings, there were singers, re-enactors, artists, performers, figures from fandom and Tolkiens grandson. With around 500 delegates from across the globe, Return of the Ring was one of the largest Tolkien-specific events ever held and followed on from the Tolkien Societys earlier conferences in 1992 and 2005, which respectively marked the centenary of Tolkiens birth and the 50th anniversary of the publication of The Lord of the Rings.
