Conference and exhibition for the British potato industry with keynote speakers, practical workshops and a sector showcase.
The British Potato Industry Confex is coming to the Lincolnshire Showground on 18 and 19 November 2026, starting at 9:00 AM. It's a brand-new event put on by The British Potato Review, and it's designed to keep the British potato industry connected in the years between the larger British Potato Industry Event in Harrogate.
Because it sits between those bigger gatherings, it's smaller, more agile, and highly targeted. It works as a hybrid, combining a conference and an exhibition in one focused setting. The conference side brings together keynote speakers, practical workshops, and breakout sessions, while the exhibition gathers the sector's latest products, services, and innovations in one place. The two run alongside each other, so you can move between listening to a talk and seeing the kit on the floor.
The British Potato Review describes it as a more intimate format than the two-year wait between the previous events, intended to spark conversations and unlock commercial opportunities. It's less about the scale of a major trade show and more about getting the right people in the same room.
