WHY I'M EXCITED TO ATTEND CONFEX 2026

  • I attended Confex last year and had a great time, I hadn't been in years! I met loads of great new contacts and bumped into loads of people in the industry I hadn't see for ages. So for me, I will be attending International Confex 2026 on 25-26 February at Excel London!
