NMBS will hold its All-Industry Conference from 11 to 14 June 2026 in Alicante, Spain.
The conference agenda will again include highly valued talks and insight sessions on market forecasts and economic trends likely to impact the merchanting sector, as well as NMBS’s Meet the Merchant event and a Gala Dinner.
Broadcaster and entrepreneur Jake Humphrey will take on the role of host. Best known today for his work on The High Performance Podcast, which has over 100 million downloads, Jake has also spent more than 20 years as an award-winning TV presenter, hosting Formula One, football and major shows for the BBC, Channel 4, ITV and BT Sport.
“It’s a real honour to be at my first NMBS Conference. The outstanding reputation and tradition of this event is something I value enormously, and I’m committed to building on it. We’ll make sure 2026 is packed with the insight, connections and relationship-building our industry needs and expects,” said Kevin Williams, CEO of NMBS.
The last NMBS Conference, held in Cyprus in 2024, was attended by more than 420 delegates and received very positive feedback for its mix of strategic content and networking opportunities, which will be repeated this year.
Many suppliers are planning to bring their merchant customers to the event again this year, having used the 2024 event to strengthen relationships away from the day-to-day pressures of business and transactional conversations.
Meanwhile, The tMBS Exhibition is set to return in April, with multiple exhibitors planning to showcase their latest products and services at the show.
