About this Event

The Bureau Management Conference returns in September 2026, this time in London, and you’re invited to be part of it! Following three highly successful events, and hosted by the Association of Bureau Managers (ABM), this is a gathering of payroll bureau leaders in the UK. A full day of insightful talks, dynamic panel discussions, interactive roundtables and high-value networking with peers and sponsors who genuinely understand bureau life.

If you run, lead or manage a payroll bureau, this is your room.

Why you should attend

🔹 Connect with people who “get it”

Running a bureau can be lonely. Here, you’re surrounded by people dealing with the same pressures around pricing, software, scope creep, client expectations and team capacity.

“It was great meeting up with like-minded people from our profession and I came away brimming with ideas… I wasn’t alone in my struggles as head of a payroll bureau.”

You’ll leave with new connections, trusted sounding boards, and a community you can lean on long after the day itself.

🔹 Gain practical, usable insight

This isn’t a generic payroll conference. Every session is designed specifically for bureaus and outsourced payroll teams.

What to expect on the day

  • Keynote talks from leading voices in the bureau space
  • Panel discussions with bureau managers, directors and partners
  • Roundtable sessions where you can share challenges, ask questions and hear what’s working in other firms
  • Sponsor conversations focused on tools and solutions that actually work for bureaus
  • Plenty of time for informal networking, coffee chats and comparing notes

“Such a great day. I took away something from each and everyone at the table… I feel I am achieving much more today with a clearer mind.”

Exclusive earlybird bonus for ABM members

Booking is now open for members of the Association of Bureau Managers.

Roundtables are small, focused gatherings (typically 8–10 bureau leaders) where you can:

  • Go deeper into specific challenges
  • Get honest feedback from peers
  • Explore pricing, performance, team and tech issues in a confidential space

“The roundtable events are so valuable… I came away full of enthusiasm and ideas, with the confidence to grow our team and services.”

About the Association of Bureau Managers

The Association of Bureau Managers (ABM) exists to support the people running payroll bureaus – helping them:
