NBN Conference 2025
We are delighted to announce that this year’s NBN Conference will be held on Thursday 20 November in Bristol.
For the first time ever we are visiting the south west region and we will be holding our event at SS Great Britain, the pioneering steamship designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel which launched in 1843.
More information on the day and the speakers will be announced in due course, but for now please save the date!
We are hugely grateful for the support of the following partners who will be helping us to bring you a fantastic Conference.
The venue
SS Great Britain is a historic museum ship and former passenger steamship, notable as the world’s first iron-hulled, screw-propelled, ocean-going passenger liner. Designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, it was launched in 1843 and is now anchored in Bristol harbour. It’s about a 30 minute walk from Bristol Temple Meads railway station.
Delegates will be able to board the ship and have a look around during breaks or lunchtime.
More information on the ship can be found on the SS Great Britain website.
