Key Information Event: Adults Commissioning Conference 2026 Location: The Hayes Conference Centre, Derbyshire Date: 18th Nov 2026 The original conference was generic and covered both adults and children’s services. In 2003, in response to requests from commissioning and contracting staff, the conference was divided into adults and children’s services, so there are now two events each year, plus other specialist events and seminars all offering best practice at value for money prices. The conference helps to encourage networking and multi-agency working to help commission and deliver better services for users. The events also look to engage with the independent sector to help develop better working relationships and service development. The events are organised by representatives from Local Authorities, Health and in collaboration with academic leaders in the field of social care policy and providers.
