BDLA Sets Agenda for 2026 Annual Conference in London

The Bridging & Development Lenders Association (BDLA) has announced the agenda for its 2026 Annual Conference, scheduled for 11 November at the Institute of Directors on Pall Mall, London. The event is supported by headline sponsor Strettons, with CG&Co and Results Asset Management also confirmed as sponsors.

The conference aims to bring together stakeholders from the specialist property finance sector for a day of insight, debate, and networking. Two keynote speakers have been confirmed: Alex Brummer, city editor of the Daily Mail, will discuss the economic and political landscape, while Rob Elder, agent officer at the Prudential Regulation Authority at the Bank of England, will provide a macroeconomic outlook and discuss monetary policy and its implications for specialist lenders, borrowers, and the wider property market.

The agenda includes two panel debates. The first panel will focus on funding and capital markets and their outlook for the specialist lending market. The second panel will examine current market conditions and explore potential opportunities for the specialist lending market in 2027.

The BDLA Annual Conference is positioned as a key event in the specialist property finance calendar, offering opportunities for knowledge sharing, discussion of market developments, and networking within the industry.
