Hope Conference

The Hope Conference is built around you and is an extremely collaborative event for everyone attending. With amazing speakers, workshops, training and attendees.

​

The Hope Conference has been hosted in Birmingham for the last two years by the Speakers Collective, a social enterprise designed to facilitate important conversations, and Chasing The Stigma, a national mental health charity. With kind sponsorship from BHSF not-for-profit health and wellbeing provider.

​

We are now in the planning phase of our third conference and please do contact us if you are interested in speaking, sponsoring or attending in 2023.
