Annual Conference

19th & 20th May 2024

Join us in Edinburgh for our 2024 conference!

The 2024 conference will take place on 19th – 20th May 2024. 

The annual conference and AGM is always the highlight of the BAFTS year. It’s a great opportunity to meet up with old friends, make new ones and spend time with like-minded people. If you are involved in or interested in fair trade, this is the must-go conference for you this year. You don’t have to be a member of  BAFTS to join in the fun. 

With excellent speakers, panel discussions, a trade show, shop/supplier ‘speed-dating’, good food and a ceilidh, there’s everything to like.

For those uninitiated with BAFTS conferences, we hold them in different geographic locations so that each year, it is a bit easier for some to get there.

This year, we are very excited to be gathering at the stunning Cornerstone Centre in Edinburgh. This vibrant, open, welcoming space overlooks Edinburgh Castle and comprises a large meeting space and two smaller breakout rooms.

Fairtrade refreshments will be provided throughout the conference as well as a buffet lunch on Sunday and Monday and a locally made curry on the Sunday evening. 

Prices per person – £35 for BAFTS members or £45 for non-members for both days including all refreshments and entertainment
