Over two days, our delegates will receive key updates from the Federation and hear about the work we’ll be focusing on in the months ahead and beyond into 2027.
Our 2026 Annual Conference is proudly supported by our Headline Sponsor, Slater and Gordon, and we extend our sincere thanks to all of our sponsors for their valued support in making this event possible.
The event will also feature a keynote speech from our National Chair and the presentation of some of our annual awards, recognising excellence across the service - including the Detectives Awards, Outstanding Contribution to Women in Policing, Response Officer of the Year and, new for 2026, Rep of the Year.
As one of the UK’s largest policing events, our Annual Conference will welcome over 600 attendees and attract senior representatives from Government and the Home Office, alongside practitioners, policy decision-makers and key policing stakeholders.
The Conference will also include a dedicated exhibition hall, accommodating up to 43 exhibitors. All refreshment breaks and lunches will take place within the exhibition hall, ensuring strong and consistent delegate footfall throughout the event. To book an exhibition stand, please contact sponsorship@polfed.org
