Care Show London, the capital’s leading social care conference and exhibition, will return to Excel London on 29-30 April 2026, bringing together thousands of care professionals for two days of expert insight, practical learning and sector-wide collaboration. 

Care Show London is designed to deliver a high-quality conference programme focused on real-world challenges and solutions. The expert speakers; drawn from across care leadership, regulation, workforce development, innovation, and more; will share first-hand experiences, proven strategies and practical guidance to help delegates drive immediate and meaningful improvements within their organisations. 

The conference sessions are built to balance strategic thinking with practical application, ensuring attendees leave with tangible takeaways they can put into practice straight away. From leadership skills and workforce development to quality improvement and digital innovation, each session is shaped by the realities of delivering care in today’s complex and fast-changing environment.
