November 13th – 17th, 2025
BAP Fellows and Delegates may think that they know a thing or two about London, but for so many that view has always been shaped somewhere between Heathrow to the west and the City to the east.
The last BAP conference in London was back in 2011. Since then, and post the London 2012 Olympic Games, London’s axis has shifted, and the city has undergone a seismic change.
So BAP’s 2025 conference is coming back to the UK’s capital – and will be anchored in dynamic and innovative East London for the first time.
This year’s conference will champion innovation, regeneration, and be themed around Transformation. We will show how East London is in the driving seat as this 2000 year old city is evolving its reputation as a global capital of culture, commerce and innovation.
We will explore the big issues of our time, celebrate the stories, businesses and communities in East London, and provide BAPpers with insider access to iconic and upcoming East London venues and organisations, and world-class speakers. You’ll see first-hand how regeneration, culture, innovation and focused transformation have exploded across this part of London, with global impact
Co-Chairs: Jazz Bhogal, Sophie Brendel, Caroline Dhane (US)
Dates: Thursday 13th November – Monday 17th November
Location: East London – anchored in and around the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park
