Welcome to the BMF All Industry Conference 2025 website where you will discover everything you need to know about our next conference, which takes place in the cosmopolitan capital of Spain’s Catalonia, the beautiful and vibrant city of Barcelona.
With its Mediterranean climate, excellent beaches, 31 Michelin Star restaurants and one of the most famous football teams in the world, Barcelona is Spain’s most popular destination for overseas visitors.
Known for its rich culture, art and architecture, Barcelona is synonymous with Antoni Gaudi, the architect of the La Sagrada Familia, the most visited monument in Spain. Over 140 years after construction began in 1883, this stunning temple, combining gothic and art nouveau forms, is finally nearing completion. It is not, however, the only architectural marvel in the city.
Barcelona is the first, and only, city to be awarded the Royal Gold Medal for Architecture. All in all, a perfect backdrop to explore our Conference theme, Building Tomorrow Together. Our theme will be explored in a full Conference business programme, hosted for the second time by Mark Durden-Smith, the sport and lifestyle presenter who returns by popular demand following his outstanding performance at our last conference, in Istanbul.
Delegates will also have ample time to explore Barcelona’s cultural and sporting heritage, sample the culinary treats of Catalan, or even head to the beach.
Please look through the following pages for further information on this magnificent location, our conference speakers, full programme of social activities and outstanding delegate accommodation at Torre Melina, a five-star hotel with a commitment to sustainability. Originally built in 1992 for the Olympic Games and newly renovated and opened under the Gran Melia brand this year, the Torre Melina offers a unique experience as an Urban Resort hotel set within a 25,000 square metres of beautiful gardens, with fantastic views of Barcelona.
Sustainability Matters
With transport a major factor in global CO2 emissions, the flying time to Barcelona is much shorter than previous destinations; it is also easy to reach by train or by road. Wherever possible we will be using local suppliers, recyclable materials and reducing single use materials and printed items, the latter by using our Conference App.
The conference takes place from 12-15 June 2025. We look forward to seeing you there!
