Following strong delegate feedback and high satisfaction with the venue in 2025, the Association has confirmed Birmingham's Grand Hotel as the host location for the second consecutive year, reinforcing its commitment to delivering a high-quality and accessible industry event for a broad European audience.
This year's conference theme, 'Stronger Together', will run throughout the day and will focus on how the bathroom sector can collaborate more effectively to support sustainable growth, strengthen resilience and deliver better outcomes for customers. The theme reflects the challenges and opportunities facing the industry, which continues to be shaped by changing consumer expectations, evolving regulation and ongoing pressures on skills and supply chains.
Through the conference programme, the Bathroom Association will explore how closer collaboration across the full supply chain can help drive progress and unlock growth. Delegates can expect a mix of thought-provoking keynote presentations from industry experts, practical panel discussions and valuable networking opportunities. The agenda is designed to help businesses share insight, address common challenges and identify new opportunities in a rapidly changing market.
Following the daytime programme, the conference will conclude with an exclusive gala dinner for industry leaders, with further details to be announced shortly.
The Association has also confirmed that its 30-Under-30 Awards will return as part of the gala dinner, following popular demand. The awards celebrate the achievements, talent and hard work of younger members who are already making a significant contribution to the sector and building long, successful careers within it. More information on the awards and how to enter will be released in due course.
Further details, including the full speaker line-up, registration information, and comprehensive guidance on the gala dinner and awards entry process, will be announced via the official conference website. In the meantime, industry professionals are encouraged to save the date.
