UKIFDA EXPO & CONFERENCE 2026 Evening Dinner

An Evening of Celebration, Networking and Sector Recognition

The UKIFDA Expo & Conference 2026 Dinner will take place at the end of the first day of this year’s event in Liverpool on 15–16 April 2026.

Sponsored by Prema, the dinner, including the President’s Drinks Reception sponsored by Otodata, is held on the Terrace at the Exhibition Centre Liverpool, offering great views overlooking the river – a standout setting for delegates to relax, connect and celebrate achievements across the sector.

Guest Speaker: John Parrott MBE

John Parrott is one of the most recognisable figures in British sport. A dominant force in snooker through the late 1980s and 1990s, he spent 14 seasons inside the world’s top 16, reached world No. 2 and won nine ranking titles — including the rare 1991 double of the World Snooker Championship and the UK Championship.

Since retiring from full‑time competition, he has become a familiar BBC Sport commentator, a long‑standing team captain on A Question of Sport, and a regular contributor to the BBC’s horse racing coverage at major events such as the Grand National, Royal Ascot and the Derby.

His insight, humour and storytelling promise a memorable evening for all attendees.

Awards Presented During the Dinner

The evening will also include the presentation of three key UKIFDA Awards:

Depot of the Year

Driver of the Year

Young Person of the Year (presented by John Parrott MBE)

These awards celebrate excellence, professionalism and outstanding contribution across the industry.

We look forward to welcoming you to Liverpool for an evening of celebration, insight and connection at the UKIFDA Expo & Conference 2026 Dinner.
