ABPCO at International Confex 2026
05 February 2026
ABPCO is the home for professional event organisers delivering events across the UK’s non-profit sector, and International Confex at Excel is one of our flagship industry gatherings. This year, we’ve partnered closely with the organisers to curate a vibrant schedule of content and activities designed to inform, inspire and connect ABPCO members throughout the show.
As one of the most anticipated dates in the events industry calendar, the show brings together the very best in our sector. Mash Media has created a dynamic, thought-provoking programme alongside a comprehensive exhibition showcasing the latest products and services — all aimed at helping event professionals deliver at the very highest standard.
If you come along to International Confex you’ll see there are plenty of opportunities to see, hear and meet representatives of ABPCO - including our new Executive Director Matt Stalker. Above all, our goal is simple: to bring the ABPCO community together, spark great conversations, and celebrate the power of our tribe.
