Kerfuffle Con - The Kerfuffle Conference

KCON 2026: Built on Trust

Kerfuffle conference 2026 returns on Tuesday 7 July 2026 at ICC Newport, Wales, with a clear theme that feels especially relevant for estate agents in today’s market: Built on Trust.

This is not a conference built around noise, hype, or vague promises. KCON 2026 is designed for estate and letting agents who want practical ways to strengthen their reputation, improve client communication, reduce friction in the journey, and build trust that can be evidenced through performance.

By bringing together perspectives from inside and outside the agency world, Kerfuffle is creating an event that feels different from the standard property conference format. The focus is on useful thinking, commercial relevance, and ideas that agents can actually apply when they return to their business.

Overview

KCON 2026 brings a fresh perspective to the property calendar

Built on Trust is a Kerfuffle event for estate agents who want to strengthen their reputation through proven performance, not empty positioning. The day focuses on how trust is built across the valuation process, client communication, follow-ups, and long-term client relationships.

Rather than relying only on familiar agency talking points, Kerfuffle conference 2026 brings in lessons from global brands, political communications, economics, marketing, leadership, and agency growth. That means attendees will hear perspectives they are unlikely to get elsewhere in the UK property industry.

A must-attend event for estate agents

The 2026 speaker lineup includes Josh Phegan, whose appearance at KCON will be his only UK conference appearance in 2026, alongside names such as Alastair Campbell, Kevin Gaskell, Verona Frankish, Adam Day, Gemma Warne, Clare Yates, Simon Gates, Robert Guest, and Toby Martin. The event will also be hosted by Dara Ó Briain.

Josh Phegan’s sessions will focus on how trust is developed through leadership, client experience, listing strategy, and the day-to-day standards that shape business performance. Kevin Gaskell brings lessons from Porsche, Lamborghini, and BMW on how trust is earned through consistency, delivery, and culture. Alastair Campbell adds a communications and reputation perspective that feels especially timely in a market where perception and credibility can directly affect results.

Why attend Kerfuffle conference 2026?

For estate agents, trust sits behind almost every important commercial outcome. It affects whether a valuation turns into an instruction, whether a client believes your advice, whether they remain engaged during a difficult process, and whether they recommend you afterwards.

KCON 2026 is built around exactly that challenge. It is a practical event for agents who want stronger communication, sharper thinking, more credible client journeys, and ideas that can support real growth.

Whether you are an independent agent, part of a regional group, or working within a larger agency business, this is a strong opportunity to hear from high-level speakers, step outside the usual agency bubble, and come away with something useful.

Reserve your place

Kerfuffle conference 2026 is shaping up to be one of the standout dates in the property calendar for agents who want more than generic conference talk. If you want practical takeaways, outside perspective, and a sharper understanding of how trust drives performance, KCON 2026 is worth your attention.
