Preparations are well underway for The IPG’s biennial conference and this year’s event promises to be one of the most exciting yet. In November 2025, members and suppliers will trade the winter chill for Mediterranean warmth as they gather at the stunning Tivoli Marina Vilamoura Algarve Resort in Portugal for two days dedicated to connection, collaboration and growth.

The conference is a celebration of the partnerships and shared values that make this community so strong. This year’s event blends insightful talks, face-to-face networking and inspiring conversations designed to spark new opportunities. Friday’s sessions are a particular highlight, offering members and suppliers a chance to connect directly, exchange ideas and lay the foundations for future collaboration.
Saturday’s speaker line-up reflects the range of expertise within the industry. Lee Wilcox, CEO and Co-Founder of On The Tools, will share insights into what drives tradespeople and how they choose where to buy. Brand ambassador and host Mark Millar will explore the transformative power of independent businesses, while CIPHE President Jason Clark ENG TECH FCIPHE RP, will close with an inspiring session on raising standards and strengthening the professional community.

The IPG is also proud to welcome hansgrohe and Wavin as headline sponsors, showcasing innovation in bathroom design, plumbing solutions and infrastructure technology. Their support underlines the spirit of partnership that defines the group.

At its heart, The IPG Conference is about coming together to share knowledge, strengthen relationships and shape the future of the industry. As Mark Millar says, “It’s going to be one to remember.”
