MALG Conference 2026 – 6 WEEKS LEFT TO BOOK!

Nobody Left Behind: Driving Systemic Change for People in Debt

This year’s Conference is drawing closer and we are confident that the Programme is one of the best we’ve ever delivered.

Sessions include a keynote on ‘The Power of Place’ from Claire McColgan CBE of Liverpool City Council; a ‘Fireside Chat’ with FCA’s Alison Walters; a MALG Friday Forum LIVE; a Plenary on Tackling the Structural Premium on Marginalised Groups; and Breakouts on Credit Information, Miscommunication and Regulation. We’ll end the day with an interactive session on Using AI & Tech to Widen Access to Debt Advice for the Most Excluded Groups.

We’ve got 20 Exhibitors confirmed already but there is plenty of space in the impressive Great Hall for more if you still want to secure an Exhibition Stand.

We have also sold most of the Sponsorship Packages thanks to generous contributions from Headline Sponsor and Exhibitor CDER Group; Keynote Sponsor Bristow & Sutor; FCA Fireside Chat Sponsor NatWest; Session Sponsors Experian; PRA Group and Wyser AI; Programme & Badge Sponsor StepChange Debt Charity, and other Sponsors Dukes Bailiffs and Lantern Group.

Sponsorship Packages still available include Drinks Reception Sponsorship and Sponsorship of Sessions on Miscommunication, Marginalised Groups and Regulation.

Please get in touch about Sponsorship & Exhibition Opportunities on info@malg.org.uk ASAP if you haven’t already to avoid disappointment!

We’re expecting more than 220 professionals from across the advice, credit, collections, enforcement, regulatory, fintech and other related sectors to join us. Don’t miss out on your chance to build new relationships, find practical solutions to your challenges and uncover joint projects with a network of people who want to make change happen in an environment that encourages collaboration.
