The Money Advice Liaison Group (MALG) has been running an annual conference for the debt advice and wider sectors since 1987. Run by a ‘not-for-profit’ organisation, the MALG Conference is unique in that there is no commercial, regulatory, or political agenda and its entire purpose is focused on MALG’s long term aim of ‘working together to improve the lives of people in problem debt’. It is the ‘must attend’ event for anyone who sees this purpose as part of their role, from responsible lenders and collections/enforcement professionals, to grassroots money advisers and policy makers.
MALG Conference 2022 – book now!
Headline sponsor: Intrum UK Ltd
Theme: Jaded: How has ‘working together to improve the lives of people in debt’ changed in the last 35 years? (a nod to MALG’s 35th anniversary, which is traditionally celebrated with jade gifts)
Keynote speaker: Karl Handscomb, Senior Economist, Resolution Foundation
We are very pleased to announce that, in its 35th year, the MALG Conference will be held outside of London for the first time at the fantastic Birmingham Repertory Theatre on Thursday 3 November 2022! In response to member feedback and in the light of the cost of living crisis and rising inflation, our aim is to make the Conference as inclusive and accessible to as many people as possible from across the debt landscape, including frontline money advisers.
Delegate bookings are now open using the form below and further details of the programme, and speakers will be announced soon.
Sponsors include Intrum UK Ltd (headline), Dukes Bailiffs, PRA Group, Lantern, and Lester Aldridge and exhibitors confirmed so far include Intrum UK Ltd, Money & Pensions Service, C&R Software, entitledto, and Vulnerability Registration Service, with several more in the pipeline. We have a range of sponsorship and exhibition opportunities still available but there has been a lot of interest – please contact bob.winnington@malg.org.uk to enquire about how your organisation could benefit.
