The Bulletproof Agency Network Conference 2026

Posted by Risk Box

2026 marks the third post-COVID edition of the Bulletproof Agency Network conference and this year, we’re raising the bar.

We’re heading back to the stylish surroundings of VOCO Manchester for a day designed to challenge your thinking, sharpen your strategy and reconnect you with what makes agency life exciting in the first place. Expect bigger conversations, deeper insights and more meaningful connections than ever before.

The theme for 2026 is “Pitch to Partnership.”

Because winning work is only the beginning. The agencies that truly thrive are the ones that know how to turn a single opportunity into a long-term, high-value relationship. This year is about mastering that transition – from proposal to partnership, from project to profit, from client to collaborator.

Speakers

Katie Bolas

Katie is an ex-agency leader turned Fractional Operations Director who understands people and organisations deeply with limited input and who can help agencies succeed by fixing the operational issues that drain profit and frustrate teams.

Trenton Moss

Trenton built one of the UK’s first UX agencies from scratch, scaled it to £3m, sold it and lived to tell the tale. He then wrote a bestselling book and started helping agency teams be brilliant with clients. He puts his agency’s success down to one thing, making everyone a leader.

Claire Richardson-Critcher & Steve Byrne

Whether independent or network, Claire and Steve work with agency leadership teams to own their ambitious growth targets. They deliver training that inserts new business systems and instils powerful habits for the long haul.
