The Bridging & Development Lenders Association (BDLA) has announced that its 2026 annual conference will be held on Wednesday 11 November at the Institute of Directors in London.
The event will take place at 116 Pall Mall and marks a move to a new venue for the association, which said the change will provide more capacity for its expanding membership and more room for networking.
The BDLA said the conference will bring together members, partners and other industry figures for a day focused on the specialist property finance sector. Further details on the agenda are due to be released in the coming months.
Each lender and associate member will be entitled to two complimentary tickets. Additional places for colleagues or guests are available at £200 per head, with registration now open.
Adam Tyler, chief executive officer of the BDLA, says: “The BDLA Annual Conference is one of the most important dates in the calendar for the bridging and development lending sector, and I’m delighted to confirm that our 2026 event will take place at the Institute of Directors in London to accommodate our growing membership.
“Having attended the BDLA Annual Conference as a guest on many occasions over the years, it is a proud moment for me personally to now be responsible for bringing together some of the most influential individuals in specialist property finance to reflect on what should be a fantastic year for the industry and to look ahead together.
“We are especially pleased to be hosting the conference at a prestigious new venue that gives us the space to grow alongside our increasing membership, while creating an even better environment for networking and discussion.
“This is very much a save-the-date announcement for now, and there is much more to come in the months ahead, including news on keynote speakers and sponsors.
“We strongly encourage members to book early and secure their place at what promises to be an exceptional day for the sector.”
