About the conference

The 2026 Bild International Positive Behaviour Support Conference will spotlight the continued evolution of Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), reaffirming the vital role of coproduction and truly person-led support.

Throughout the conference we will explore both Tier 1 and Tier 2 support, with a strong focus on the importance of capable, supportive environments in enabling meaningful outcomes.  

Bild is delighted to relaunch the Centre for the Advancement of Positive Behaviour Support (CAPBS) at this year’s conference, strengthening our commitment to a person-led, relational approach across all PBS work.  

As the conference emphasises: PBS is not a technique, but a framework for good support for everyone – grounded in rights, relationships, reflection, and real-life outcomes.  

There will also be a range of workshops available to attend, giving delegates tools and ideas to put into practice. The workshops will also provide opportunities for debate, conversation and networking.   

The conference will be of interest to practitioners in health, social care and education settings looking to improve their own practice and drive change within their organisation. People with lived experience are warmly welcomed.
