Presented by Social Value Portal in collaboration with the National Social Value Taskforce, this year’s Social Value Conference will take place from 15 to 17 October 2024.
For the first time, the Social Value Conference will be spread across three days, offering a fully immersive experience that will cover a number of new themes, industries and topics.
With the first two days hosted online, the in-person, day-long event on 17 October will be held at The Eastside Rooms in Birmingham, UK, with the Social Value Awards ceremony held at the same location afterwards.
The conference will build on the energy and thought leadership of last year’s event, taking the ‘Roadmap to Delivering a Social Value Economy’, to the next level under this year’s theme of ‘Social Value in Action’.
Lorraine Cox, Director of STAR Procurement and Chair of the National Social Value Taskforce, said:
This year we are totally focused on how we can deliver the Social Value Economy. The time for talking is over and we now need Social Value in Action’

Guy Battle, CEO of Social Value Portal, added:
Social Value has now become a core strategic consideration for any organisation wanting to work with the public sector or wanting to prove their social impact. It is essential to have a Social Value strategy that not only inspires but actually delivers tangible (and provable) benefits. This year’s conference will showcase good practice from around the UK – buyers who are unlocking real additional value from their supply chain and businesses that are delivering real change. The conference will be even more dynamic, exciting and memorable than ever before as we encourage delegates to share their inspiring stories, debate what best practice looks like and contribute to the future of the Social Value Movement.
