Brigantia by Elovade’s Annual Partner Conference returns to London this September. Building on the success of last year’s sell-out event in the historic city of York, Brigantia have announced this year’s event is set to be even better, with one of the most recognisable faces in world rugby and television featuring as the Keynote Speaker.

On the 23rd & 24th September, attendees will be welcomed at The Tower Hotel by Thistle, London, next to the iconic Tower Bridge. Their Annual Partner Conference provides the chance to see engaging presentations, gain insights from industry leaders, and have plenty of opportunities to network.

This year, attendees can expect:

  • Interactive focus groups – ‘Ask Me Anything’ focus groups give attendees the chance to put questions to channel leaders in an informal setting.
  • Vendor Expo a product expo showcasing Brigantia’s full range of vendors.
  • Evening reception – dinner, charity auction and the chance for attendees to relax and unwind.

Keynote Speaker – Joe Marler

Last year, the keynote speaker session with Kevin Sinfield was a standout highlight of the conference, and Brigantia is set to make sure it is once again.

For their 2026 event, Brigantia have confirmed Joe Marler, former England International Rugby Player, as this year’s Keynote Speaker. Known as one of the most recognisable faces in world rugby and television, Joe Marler also has a successful podcast, ‘Joe Marler’s Things People Do', published his debut book in 2020, ‘Loose Head, Confessions of an (un)professional rugby player’ and is a passionate mental health advocate and ambassador for CALM. He has recently participated in Celebrity Traitors, was the face of Red Nose Day, and appeared on both the One Show and the Jonathan Ross Show.

Fundraising for charity – Suicide&Co

This year, Brigantia are supporting the Ash Family Row Challenge, helping to raise vital funds for the charity Suicide&Co – a charity focused on supporting people navigating the grief of losing a loved one to suicide.

The Ash Family Row is a challenge set by the Ash family, who are rowing the Atlantic in memory of Robert, a husband, father and friend who they lost to suicide in September 2023. The row is set to raise £300,000 for Suicide&Co.

At the Annual Partner Conference, an auction will be held to raise awareness of and funds for the charity and Ash Family Row.

Managing Director, Angus Shaw, commented:

"Our partner conference is the standout event of the year for us, and I know this year’s event will exceed expectations once again. It’s fantastic to be heading back to London with an exciting two days planned for attendees. I can’t wait to welcome our community to the event in September, with a mix of long-standing, new and potential partners, and to raise awareness and funds for an incredible charity. I’m sure it will be another unforgettable event!
