Full Story
Bonhams has been confirmed as the main sponsor for this year’s Valuers’ Conference, an important event organized by The National Association of Jewellers (NAJ).
Set to take place over two days, the Conference will kick off with six keynote speeches from industry specialists. These presentations will address the latest trends, emerging challenges, and effective practices prevalent in the valuation sector.
The following day will focus on interactive workshops and masterclasses, each lasting two hours, allowing participants the chance to engage in practical, skill-based learning.
Following the day’s discussions on Saturday, attendees will convene for a formal gala dinner, during which the recipient of the David Wilkins Award will be revealed. This gathering will not only celebrate achievements within the field but also facilitate networking and foster connections within the valuation community.
Kate Flitcroft, Bonhams’ business development director for jewellery, remarked on the significance of their sponsorship: “Bonhams is delighted to return as headline sponsor of this year’s Valuers’ Conference, in partnership with the NAJ and the Institute of Registered Valuers. The conference continues to be a vital forum for professional development, bringing valuers together to learn, exchange insights, and strengthen standards across the industry. Bonhams is proud to support organisations whose commitment to professionalism and ethical standards closely aligns with our own.”
Sammantha Maclachlan, vice chair of the Institute of Registered Valuers and chair of the Conference Panel, expressed enthusiasm for the event: “We are thrilled that Bonhams are joining us for the 2026 Valuers’ Conference. We are equally excited to share news of our speaker lineup and workshop options shortly. Registration will open next week, alongside more information on this year’s speaker lineup.”
Additional information, including the complete speaker schedule and registration details, is expected to be released soon.
