About this event

Business • Other

Join us for the UK's leading workplace conflict management event, bringing together HR professionals, leaders and experts in ADR. 6 CPD hours awarded.

We are pleased to announce UK Mediation Conference 2025, presented by Acas and Iconic Media Solutions, will take place on 30th June 2026 in London

Our 2026 event will focus on the theory and practical skills required to develop a positive workplace culture, address the skills gap in leadership and offer the practical tools to improve employee engagement. The importance of conflict prevention and how HR professionals and leaders can apply internal structures and frameworks to prioritise this will also be a key focus of the event.

Workplace conflict costs UK employers £28.5 billion each year – an average of over £1,000 for every employee. And new research published by Acas shows that a major challenge in overcoming it is that both line management skills, and negotiation skills have declined in recent years.

The evidence is clear – the sooner a workplace dispute can be resolved, the better the outcome for everybody involved. It leads to improved employee engagement, staff retention and productivity. Mediation is an effective and cost saving way of managing workplace disputes.

The key question for organisations is how do you successfully implement a less formal approach to resolving workplace conflict?

This industry-leading event will answer that question by examining the conflict journey, the evidence supporting the case for a less formal approach, including examples on what works (and what doesn’t) and practical mediation skills and techniques. Delegates will get the opportunity to network with leading academics, mediation providers and Acas experts to explore how we can make workplaces better, together.
