What’s new for 2026

Essential Ethics — now in a new format
Our Essential Ethics workshop now runs as a half-day online session, making it easier for members to strengthen their understanding of ethical best practice. It complements the Online Legal & Ethical Certification Programme, the recognised benchmark for compliance, and the Advanced Ethics Workshop for those leading or advising on ethical standards.

Business Skills and Trusted Advisor workshops — now online
Our Business Skills and Trusted Advisor workshops are moving online in 2026, bringing the same interactive, practical approach to a more accessible format. Sessions include Influencing without Authority, Stepping into Challenging Conversations, Mastering the Art of Facilitation, Nailing the Business Issues to Deliver Actionable Insight, Crafting Compelling Stories and Actionable Outputs and Advanced Presentation Skills: Delivering Impactful Stories.

Revitalised flagship events
Our Annual Conference and Insight Exchange remain key highlights of the BHBIA calendar but we have re-imagined them to reflect the evolving needs of our community. Both bring members together to share ideas, challenge thinking and spark collaboration. The Winter Insight Exchange is available to book now [insert link]. Details of the 2026 Annual Conference launch will follow later this month.
