Welcome to this year's 26th Annual Leakage Conference; the UK’s flagship annual industry event for the leakage community.

This year we are looking forward to welcoming you to our new venue at the Eastside Rooms in Birmingham's knowledge quarter. It is a modern purpose-built venue providing more much-needed space for the Conference room but also for networking which will all be in one larger separate room and provide more eating spaces too.

Last year’s Conference sold out, with over 200 industry specialists joining the conference. We are looking forward to bringing the leakage community together again this year for lively and informed debate and all-important networking, with a programme developed by the industry for the industry.

Continuing with the 1.5 day format
The conference will run over 1.5 days. This enables us to provide more networking opportunities, include more content and get people away slightly earlier on day two – building on all the positive feedback from our conference community.

We start with registration and networking from 12.30pm on Monday 24th November with the Conference’s first session running from 2pm to 6.00pm with a mid-afternoon networking break, before we close the first day with networking in the Leakage Lounge & Bar from 6.00pm ahead of the Conference Dinner at 7.30pm. On Day 2, Tuesday 25th November, we will have a full conference day with networking breaks and close around 4.00pm.

IMPORTANT Hotel accommodation needs to be booked direct with the co-located hotel or another hotel of your choice. The Aloft (Marriott) is located next door to the Conference venue, and there is also the Clayton Hotel, Premier Inn (Birmingham City Centre Exchange Square) and Travelodge in the vicinity. Try Google travel search here to get the best deal - check that you have the right hotel, the right dates and whether you need breakfast included or not.
