A branded agency wins the instruction before the valuation. An unbranded one wins it on the sixth call back.
Kerfuffle Con is the annual conference and awards event created by Kerfuffle for UK estate and letting agents. KCON 2026 returns on 7 July at ICC Wales, Newport, with the theme Built on Trust. Featuring Josh Phegan, Alastair Campbell, Kevin Gaskell, Verona Frankish and Dara O Briain as host, it is a full day of insight, debate and connection - followed by an evening gala and awards ceremony.
A good conference should make you think differently, connect you with people worth knowing and send you back to your agency with at least one thing you will actually do. Most property events do not clear that bar. Kerfuffle Con was built specifically to clear it.
Content that repeats what agents already know is content that does not earn its place on the agenda. Kerfuffle Con brings in perspectives from outside the immediate property sector precisely to avoid that trap.
Genuine networking requires the right room and the right format. A conference with 600 engaged, senior agency professionals and an evening social programme creates conditions for real conversations.
Kerfuffle Con balances supplier exhibition time with genuine educational content from speakers who have no product to sell. The mix is deliberate.
The Kerfuffle Conference includes an awards programme that recognises real performance. Winning or shortlisting at an industry event creates genuine staff motivation and external credibility.
KCON 2026 Built on Trust combines world-class external speakers, estate agency thought leaders, a supplier exhibition and an awards gala into a single day at ICC Wales.
Josh Phegan - his only UK conference appearance in 2026. Alastair Campbell on leadership under scrutiny. Kevin Gaskell on business transformation. Robert Guest from The Economist on markets and trust. Speakers who have something to say beyond the standard property circuit.
Verona Frankish, Adam Day, Clare Yates, Simon Gates and Toby Martin bring the agency perspective. This is the part of the programme that addresses the specific challenges estate and letting agents face right now.
The 2026 theme is Built on Trust. The programme covers how trust is built across the valuation process, client communication, follow-ups and long-term client relationships - practical, not theoretical.
The exhibition hall gives agents structured access to the suppliers they should know about. The Kerfuffle format means suppliers present their case rather than pursuing attendees.
The conference day is followed by an awards ceremony and evening social programme. Recognition, celebration and the best networking conversations of the event.
The event is hosted by Dara O Briain. It is a professional event that is also genuinely enjoyable - which is why 600+ agents choose to spend a full day and evening there.
Attending KCON is straightforward. Tickets are limited so early booking is recommended.
Conference Day tickets (GBP 199 plus VAT) give full access to all keynotes, panels, the exhibition and networking. Conference and Evening Gala tickets (GBP 299 plus VAT) add the awards ceremony, dinner and after-party. Celtic Manor Golf Day and Night on 6 July is available separately.
Tickets are available at kerfuffleconference.com. Use promo code EVENTB when booking. Dinner-only tickets for the evening gala are available at GBP 99 plus VAT for those who cannot attend the full day.
ICC Wales is accessible from across the UK via the M4, with regular trains to Newport. Celtic Manor, Ty Newport, Holiday Inn and Premier Inn are all nearby for agents travelling from further afield.
The full-day programme runs from 9am to 5pm. Engage with the keynotes, participate in the Q and A sessions and use the exhibition and networking breaks to make the connections you came for.
The evening gala awards ceremony follows the conference day. This is where the recognition happens and where the best conversations of the day continue over dinner and the after-party.
Kerfuffle members attend KCON and some use the conference as an opportunity to explore supplier relationships. The Kerfuffle team can facilitate introductions to conference speakers and suppliers.
