You Are Invited!
We're excited to announce that the BPF Annual Dinner will be returning to the iconic backdrop of London's Guildhall on 12 November 2025!
This year’s guest speaker is Ed Balls! Following a distinguished career in frontline politics, including time in Gordon Brown’s Cabinet and as Shadow Chancellor, Ed is now one of the UK’s most recognisable broadcasters. A regular presenter on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, co-host of the Political Currency podcast with George Osborne, and the face of BBC documentaries such as 'Travels in Trumpland', Ed brings a unique blend of insight, experience and humour. With the world changing rapidly, there’s no one better to help us navigate today’s dynamic landscape.

We're inviting our junior in-career members to a dedicated BPF Futures drinks reception, taking place just before the BPF Annual Dinner. This exclusive event is designed to offer a relaxed and friendly environment for emerging professionals within the industry to come together, build connections and expand their networks. The reception will serve as a great icebreaker, allowing attendees to feel more comfortable and connected before walking down together to the main event.
