What makes NHS ConfedExpo the must-attend event of 2026?
Every year, thousands of health and care leaders make the journey to NHS ConfedExpo, and they keep coming back. So, what is it that makes this event different from every other event in the sector? The answer lies in what happens when leaders, innovators and ideas from across the whole system come together in one place.
What is NHS ConfedExpo?
NHS ConfedExpo is the UK’s leading health and care conference, delivered in partnership by NHS Confederation and NHS England. Over two days, the event brings together senior leaders, clinicians, policymakers, and innovators from across the health and care system.
It is more than just a conference; it is a space for collaboration, learning, and action. It is where conversations turn into practical solutions, and where ideas shape the future of care for patients and the public.
Why it matters now
The health and care system is facing unprecedented challenges, from operational pressure to the need for transformation. NHS ConfedExpo provides a platform to address these issues head-on, with content aligned to the Government’s 10 Year Health Plan.
This is not a conference where you sit and listen. It is where the sector’s thinking is shaped, tested, and shared, with sessions designed to equip you with approaches you can take back and put into practice immediately.
What delegates can expect
Attending NHS ConfedExpo means joining 6,800+ leaders from across the NHS, local government, and wider health and care system. Whether you are a first-time delegate or a returning attendee, the programme offers something at every turn:
- Unrivalled networking with 6,800+ leaders from across the NHS, local government, and the wider health and care system.
