The Care Forum 2026 Offers a More Personal Approach to Connecting Care Leaders and Suppliers

The Care Forum is set to return in 2026 with a series of exclusive, small-scale events designed to bring senior care professionals together with solution providers in a more focused and meaningful way.

Taking place on 8–9 June 2026 in London and later in the year in Birmingham, the forum is built around a highly personalised format—prioritising quality conversations over large-scale attendance.

A Different Kind of Care Event

Unlike traditional exhibitions, The Care Forum is intentionally limited in size, creating a more intimate environment for senior decision-makers.

Attendance is typically restricted to around 55 senior care professionals, allowing for deeper conversations and more targeted engagement.

The event is specifically designed for:

  • Senior leaders responsible for operational and purchasing decisions
  • Care providers actively exploring new solutions
  • Suppliers looking to connect with decision-makers who have real buying intent

Built Around 1-to-1 Meetings

At the core of The Care Forum is a structured programme of pre-arranged one-to-one meetings, matching providers with suppliers based on their specific needs and priorities.

These meetings are supported by:

  • Personalised itineraries tailored to each attendee
  • 25-minute focused conversations
  • Opportunities to compare solutions and benchmark services

This “corporate speed-dating” approach ensures that every interaction is purposeful—removing the randomness often associated with larger events.

Learning, Networking, and Collaboration

Alongside the meetings, attendees will benefit from:

  • Expert-led seminars and panel discussions
  • Networking opportunities with like-minded professionals
  • Insights into emerging trends and best practice across the sector

The event also includes full hospitality, accommodation, and dedicated networking time, reinforcing its focus on building strong, lasting relationships within the sector.

Why It Matters

As the care sector becomes increasingly complex, the ability to make informed decisions quickly is critical.

Events like The Care Forum provide a more efficient route to market insight, allowing providers to:

  • Identify the right suppliers faster
  • Explore innovative solutions
  • Build trusted partnerships

In a sector where time is limited and decisions carry significant impact, this more targeted approach is gaining traction.

The Daily Round Perspective

At The Daily Round, we see The Care Forum as a reflection of a broader shift in the sector—from large, general events to more curated, high-value experiences.

In a world where attention is limited, it’s no longer about how many people you meet—it’s about meeting the right ones.
