Been asked a few times recently, where can you find a list of all the top BA conferences, meet-ups and events that are on. That got me thinking, that most events I come across are through having been to them before, or by chance such as LinkedIn, Twitter or chatting with someone.

Therefore, I’ve collated all those that I know of into one place. Hopefully this will be helpful to folk, or to point colleagues in your communities or chapters to. I’ve not been constrained to just the UK. Appreciating, a) it’s nice to travel to events elsewhere (if you’re lucky enough to be able to do so), b) some are virtual or hybrid and c) in this globally connected world, we are all likely to have networks that span multiple countries/continents. 

I’m sure I’m missing loads here – whether they be local or regional events – all the way to the multi day biggies, so if you notice stuff missing that you know of and would recommend, drop me a message via LinkedIn or Twitter (@_jamietoyne_) and I’ll add them on.
