Festival of Learning 2026
The ABPCO Festival of Learning - Connect, Collaborate and Challenge
The Festival of Learning brings the association events community together, creating a space to connect, collaborate, and challenge. It provides valuable opportunities for sharing knowledge, exploring new ideas, and strengthening relationships across the industry. Building on the success of this year’s record-breaking event, the 2026 Festival promises to be bigger and better than ever.
We’re moving to a new home at Nottingham Venues - East Midlands Conference Centre on the 29-30 April 2026.
Themes
- Personal Development – Skills, training, confidence building, and sharing new knowledge that helps individuals thrive.
- Event Development – Case studies, new ideas, and innovations that change or improve the way events are designed, delivered, and experienced.
- Industry – Trends, challenges, and solutions that are shaping the future of the association and not-for-profit events sector.
The provisional conference programme will be published in January 2026 when we also open for registations.
