Book early for BIFA National Conference

[ February 20, 2026   //   ]

BIFA will bring together a line-up of expert speakers at its National Conference 2026, under the theme ‘Navigating a shifting world’.

Returning to The Slate at Warwick Conferences on 23–24 September, this year’s event builds on the momentum of the successful reintroduction of the National Conference in 2025.

With significant shifts in the world order, ongoing geopolitical tensions, uncertainty surrounding tariffs, and mounting economic pressures on consumers and manufacturers alike, the outlook for global trade has rarely been more unpredictable. BIFA’s 2026 conference will provide clarity, insight and practical guidance for navigating the months and years ahead.

The agenda and speaker line-up are currently being finalised and are expected to feature contributors from across all sectors of international logistics, alongside major infrastructure stakeholders and political decision-makers

The programme will offer ample opportunity for face-to-face discussion and networking — still the most effective way to build relationships, exchange ideas and develop practical solutions in a complex trading environment.

This year’s guest speaker after dinner will be former Premier League manager Harry Redknapp, bringing decades of top-flight football experience — and no doubt a few stories from the touchline.

Delegates are encouraged to book early to secure their place and benefit from the available early bird discount: https://conference.bifa.org
