Conference 2026

Early bird registration is now open!

BIGSPD 2026 will take place from June 16th to 18th in the Grand Hotel, Blackpool.

Each year, BIGSPD organises a dynamic and inclusive learning event for people living with and working with the difficulties often described as ‘personality disorder’. These are thoughtful and reflective events, including conversation, workshops and presentations for our community. To ensure our conference contains the voices of those who might receive, as well as deliver services, we offer 10% of places as fully funded bursaries for those with lived experience

Please contact bigspd@northernnetworking.co.uk with any enquiries.
