The UK Mortgage Convention will return in 2026 with a renewed emphasis on supporting directly authorised (DA) brokers, following the success of its inaugural event earlier this year.
The one-day gathering, organised by Brilliant Solutions, will take place at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre in Westminster and is expected to attract hundreds of brokers, lenders and industry leaders.
The event aims to provide DA brokers with insights, practical tools and networking opportunities at a time when the mortgage market faces both uncertainty and opportunity.
A STRONGER PLATFORM FOR BROKERS
The programme promises keynote addresses and ‘expert’ panel discussions on subjects affecting the modern mortgage industry, with contributions from senior figures across lending and distribution. An exhibition hall will also host more than 70 lenders showcasing new products and solutions.
Ivan Vizor, event originator at Brilliant Solutions, said the enthusiasm generated by the first convention had driven the decision to expand. “From the second the curtain rose on the inaugural UK Mortgage Convention this March, we were completely blown away. The event didn’t just meet our expectations, it smashed them,” he said.
“So, we didn’t take too much persuading, and I am truly delighted to now launch the UK Mortgage Convention 2026. It’s even bigger, even better and we are bringing the UK broker community an even more exceptional experience.”
Michael Craig, managing director of Brilliant Solutions, added: “We are absolutely thrilled to be launching the UK Mortgage Convention 2026. After the phenomenal success of this year’s event, we are building on that momentum to deliver something even bigger, better and more impactful for the industry.”
A ‘MUST-ATTEND’ GATHERING
The 2026 convention is billed as a must-attend for DA brokers, who remain at the centre of mortgage distribution, with nearly nine in 10 UK mortgages arranged through intermediaries. The event’s organisers say it will serve as both a showcase of lender innovation and a forum for brokers to share experiences and strengthen professional ties.
With the UK mortgage market facing regulatory reform, affordability pressures and shifting borrower needs, the convention is expected to provide brokers with both strategic guidance and a platform for collaboration.
The event will be held on a single day, with organisers promising to blend industry debate, commercial opportunities and networking into what they describe as the sector’s premier annual gathering.
