London will host a five-day gathering this June focused on enterprise architecture, business transformation, and service design, with organiser IRM UK bringing three co-located conferences together under one programme. The Enterprise & Business Architecture, Business Change & Transformation, and Service Design Conferences Europe 2026 will run from 8 to 12 June.
The event is designed to bring together architects, transformation leaders, service designers, and senior executives at a time when those disciplines are becoming more tightly connected inside large change programmes. As organisations manage complex digital delivery, regulatory pressure, service redesign, and operating model shifts at the same time, the boundaries between architecture, transformation, and design are narrowing.
According to the organisers, the 2026 agenda will include more than 70 speakers, eight keynote sessions, 11 workshops, and five days of learning and networking. The programme aims to balance strategic discussion with practical case studies and delivery frameworks, positioning the event as both a leadership forum and a working conference for practitioners responsible for implementing change.
The keynote line-up reflects that cross-functional emphasis. Speakers announced include Annette Andresen, CEO of Marlowe Consulting Limited; Kara Claxton, Director of Transformation at UK Home Office Border Force; Roger Burlton, President of Process Renewal Group and founder of BPTrends Associates; Whynde Kuehn, founder and director of S2E Inc; Cyriel Kortleven, keynote speaker on change mindset; LJ Rich, musician and BBC technology broadcaster; Christian Schroeder, enterprise architect at Bain & Company; and Paul van der Merwe, head of enterprise architecture at Standard Bank Group.
Taken together, the speaker list points to a conference agenda that is trying to span policy, operations, enterprise design, leadership, and emerging technology. That breadth reflects how transformation work now operates in practice. Architecture decisions shape delivery, delivery affects customer and employee experience, and service design increasingly depends on the quality of organisational change behind it.
The event also places a strong emphasis on practical participation. Readers can view the agenda or book tickets online. Group booking discounts are being offered at 10% for two to three delegates using code GRP10, 20% for four to five delegates using code GRP20, and 25% for groups of six or more using code GRP25.
For organisations planning transformation work over the coming year, the co-located structure may prove one of the event’s stronger draws. Rather than separating architecture, change, and service design into parallel conversations, the format brings them into a single commercial and operational frame.
That reflects a wider reality in enterprise programmes. The challenge is rarely just deciding what to change. It is deciding how strategy, systems, people, and service outcomes connect, and then building a delivery model that can hold them together. The London event is positioning itself squarely within that space.
