The first Hope Conference took place in Birmingham on the 11th of November 2021. The conference is built around collaboration, connection and community. Our 2021 programme included the speakers Jonny Benjamin MBE, Jake Mills, Heidi Stewart, Steve Gilbert OBE, Rachel Coogan, Asif Noorani, Peter Larkum, Sarah Petheridge, Emi Howe, Angela Samata, Jo Emmerson, Tracey Paxton, Adrian Garcia, Marsha McAdam and Jon Salmon. ​Our next Hope Conference will be on Friday 11 November 2022 in Birmingham and is organised by the Speakers Collective, a social enterprise designed to facilitate important conversations and Chasing The Stigma, a national mental health charity. We were incredibly grateful for our 2021 Hope Conference sponsors BHSF who is a not-for-profit health & wellbeing provider, helping to keep employees physically, mentally & financially healthy. ​We would love for you to join us in person and be part of our next Hope Conference in 2022 creating a really inspiring conference - www.HopeConference.co.uk or contact info@speakerscollective.org for further information.
