We are delighted to invite you to our annual conference at this outstanding venue. As always, the event will bring together our valued DFM partners and respected product provider colleagues in the Market Hall.
This year, in response to your feedback, we have introduced several enhancements to the conference programme. Selected Product Providers have been invited to present on topics you specifically requested. In addition, to involve our DFM partners in a new and engaging way, we are pleased to welcome BBC presenter and journalist Louise Minchin, who will facilitate a live, on-stage Q&A with them. This session will provide an open forum for your questions and discussion.
Louise Minchin is best known for presenting the UKs most-watched morning programme, BBC Breakfast, for 20 years. She has also appeared on a number of television shows, including I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! and Celebrity MasterChef. Renowned for her insightful interviewing style, Louise will ensure a lively and engaging discussion. Alongside her journalism career, she is an endurance athlete, a strong advocate for women's achievement in sport and wider endeavour, and the author of three books. Louise will also share insights from her own experiences, with opportunities to meet her during the event.
As with our 2025 conference, there will be no morning CPD sessions from product providers, allowing more time for meaningful engagement with exhibitors in the Market Hall.
We also invite you to extend your stay and join us for a relaxed and enjoyable evening, featuring an informal dinner and entertainment. The evening will include a live performance from the fun and popular tribute band Wham! Duran, along with a special appearance from one of the UKs leading stand-up comedians.
For those requiring overnight accommodation, we have secured a group reservation at the on-site Sandy Park Marriott Hotel. A direct booking link is available upon request.
