Collaboration Across Sectors - on the Topics that Matter
Developed through Consultation with:
The Collaboration Conference 2026 takes place on 25 November, ahead of our evening Awards Ceremony, bringing together organisations from across sectors to help shape the future of customer support.
Developed in consultation with UK regulators, this conference has been designed to address the issues having the greatest impact on organisations and the customers they serve—regardless of sector.
Working closely with the UK Regulators Network, Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), Ofwat, Ofgem, the Utility Regulator for Northern Ireland, and the Regulator of Social Housing, we have identified the common themes that organisations are grappling with today. These are the challenges that transcend individual industries and demand a collaborative response.
The conference will focus on five key themes:
-
Consumer Vulnerability
-
Tell Us Once
-
The Cost of Living
-
The Role of AI in Complaints Handling
-
Collaboration Across the Customer Journey
These themes form the foundation of the Collaboration Conference 2026 agenda. Throughout the day, you'll hear directly from regulators, leading organisations, and industry experts as they share practical insights, real-world case studies, and innovative approaches to tackling today's most pressing customer challenges.
Whether you work in financial services, utilities, housing, transport, retail, local government, or the third sector, this conference offers a unique opportunity to gain regulatory insight, learn from cross-sector best practice, and collaborate with peers to help shape better outcomes for customers.
