2026 EMEA Connect - Event Page

Join us at The Grand Hotel in Birmingham for EMEA Connect 2026

🌟We are delighted to again welcome our colleagues across both StarRez and Mercury platforms as one community.🌟

This opportunity to bring our EMEA community together is our favourite time of the year. Not only does the day offer a packed agenda of learning, networking and best practice sharing, it gives our community a chance to spend some quality face-to-face time together.

Event Highlights

Connecting

EMEA Connect 2026 will allow you to connect with community members from across the EMEA region. The agenda includes time for panel sessions, where you can learn from other community members and networking time for free-flowing interaction.

Best Practices

Hear from your own community members as they share real examples of challenges they have faced within their operations and how they use technology to solve them. The sessions are designed to give you insights into how others are getting the most out of their resources whether that’s people, processes, or systems. 

Learning Sessions

Hear from platform experts to add to your own knowledge and skills. Whether you’re just getting started or building from decades of experience, these sessions will offer helpful hints and tips on the technology you use every day and give you the opportunity to ask questions. 

Dedicated Time with Our Support Team

Enjoy some face-to-face time connecting with subject matter experts who implement and support the products you use every day. To ensure you get some dedicated time with the team, we will be emailing all registrants to book a session.
