NSPA Annual Conference 2026

Stronger Together: Shaping the Future of Suicide Prevention

Our annual conference is back! We are returning to the Oval in London on Wednesday 21st October and you can book your tickets now! Join us for a day of connection, learning, networking and debate with the suicide prevention community.

Bringing the suicide prevention community together in a time of change

The suicide prevention landscape is changing. National priorities are evolving, health and care systems are being reshaped, and opportunities and risks are emerging nationally and locally. There are important questions to consider about what comes next and who will help shape it.

We are now more than halfway through the current national suicide prevention strategy. How can we increase momentum and maximise the impact of our suicide prevention efforts? What should priorities be for the years ahead?

The NSPA has also entered a new chapter. We have a new host, we are focused on diversifying our engagement and increasing our policy and advocacy work. We want our strategy and priorities to be shaped with, and by, the suicide prevention community.

So we’re inviting people with lived experience of suicide, practitioners, researchers, policymakers, community organisations and system leaders to join us as we come together to talk about the future of suicide prevention and our collective vision for the future. The day will be about championing the work you do, creating space for honest conversations about the challenges ahead and identifying opportunities to influence, innovate and collaborate.

The conference will starts at 09:30, with registration from 08:30, and will close at 17:00 The event agenda sets out timings for the day and details of plenary and breakout sessions.

Improving Access Tickets
A limited number of subsidised tickets (£60) are available to help ensure the conference is accessible to a diverse range of attendees. Priority will be given to students, individuals early in their careers, delegates from very small or under-resourced community groups, and those for whom the standard ticket price may presents a significant barrier to attendance.
