Our National Conference 2025 will take place at The Queens Hotel in Leeds on Thursday 27 November 2025.
This year’s conference will bring together policymakers, regulators and senior industry leaders from across the UK’s regions and nations to discuss the financial and related professional services industry’s role in driving growth across the UK. Topics that will be explored on the day include:
- How new initiatives, including the government’s Modern Industrial Strategy, can tangibly impact investment across the UK’s regions and nations.
- What government – from ministers to mayors – can do to support industry-led action to drive greater growth and prosperity.
- The role of industry hubs outside London in changing organisational cultures and the evolving partnership between the industry and government bodies.
