It’s your conference – and we need your help to decide speaker topics

For this year’s ILM Annual Conference, we gave our members the opportunity to help choose the agenda, which proved to be incredibly successful.

Feedback on the agenda for this year’s conference was overwhelmingly positive, with many members appreciating the new format and varied topics covered. For this reason, we will once again be forming a conference committee to help us select the agenda for ILM Conference 2026.

The process will remain the same as last year, with each of the potential speakers for Conference 2026 submitting an outline proposal by mid-September, which will then be reviewed by the ILM Board and put in front of a panel of members to help decide which topics you and your peers want to hear about.

Knowing our charity members vary tremendously in size, we want to ensure there will be something for everyone. If you’re a sole legacy officer in a small charity, your view will be just as important as team members from a larger, national charity.

If you would like to play a part in the decision making process and join the panel, simply email Matthew at [email protected] no later than Friday 12 September.
