<strong>The</strong> Blend 2024 calls<br />
for conference speakers<br />
<strong>The</strong> Blend is once again extending an invitation for industry insiders to share<br />
their insights and expertise by speaking at this year’s hotly anticipated<br />
independent garage annual conference and networking event.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Blend 2024 takes place at the<br />
Eastside Rooms in Birmingham on<br />
Saturday, 28th September. Building on<br />
the success of last year’s conference, <strong>The</strong><br />
Blend is eager to inject fresh perspectives<br />
by introducing new speakers.<br />
“We’re on the lookout for voices with<br />
genuine, relatable stories that will resonate<br />
with our dynamic community,” said Ray<br />
Dilsons, Managing Director of <strong>Garage</strong> Hive,<br />
the award-winning garage management<br />
software behind the event. “You don’t need<br />
to be a seasoned speaker either. Whether<br />
you’re an industry veteran or a rising star,<br />
if you have a compelling story, valuable<br />
insights, or unique perspectives, we want to<br />
hear from you.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> action-packed day combines a<br />
stimulating conference – offering delegates<br />
their pick from three speakers per session<br />
– alongside trade supplier stands with an<br />
evening dinner, awards and entertainment<br />
to follow.<br />
<strong>The</strong> now prominent garage business<br />
event started in 2019 as a <strong>Garage</strong> Hive<br />
customer conference. It has since<br />
developed into a wider must-attend<br />
conference for all independent garages in<br />
the UK and Ireland.<br />
“We’re inviting anyone interested in<br />
speaking at <strong>The</strong> Blend 2024 to please<br />
contact us via our web form,” said Ray.<br />
“It’s a simple application; we just need<br />
to know the topic theme as well as some<br />
background about the speaker.”<br />
More than 300 delegates, comprising<br />
of independent garages, invited suppliers<br />
and industry press, are expected<br />
to attend <strong>The</strong> Blend 2024. Further<br />
announcements are expected to be made<br />
in the coming weeks and months.<br />
<strong>The</strong> application deadline for those<br />
interested in speaking at <strong>The</strong> Blend 2024<br />
is 1st May. Applications can be made<br />
