London Conference: Bridging the Gap

Description

The Amicable Divorce Network is excited to join the London Mediation Company for our 2026 Conference in London, England. About the Conference This is more than just a conference; it’s a global moment for collaboration, clarity, and change. For the first time, leading voices from mediation, family law, psychology, and public health will come together in London for a bold international event: Bridging the Gap - Bridging Families, Law & Conflict Resolution. Over two dynamic days, global experts and frontline practitioners will share tools, research, and ideas that redefine family justice across systems, sectors, and borders. Delegates will explore innovative ideas from pioneers on both sides of ‘the pond’ who are shaping the future of family justice. With keynote sessions featuring Sir Andrew McFarlane, Bill Eddy, and other high-profile speakers, alongside a live performance of Stephen Wildblood KC’s powerful play, ‘Daisy Through the Looking Glass’. The play highlights the impact of high-conflict separation on children and families. Blending law and lived experience, it has received standing ovations at national conferences for its ability to inspire empathy and change - we are sure you’ll find it thought-provoking, inspiring, and unforgettable. What truly sets this event apart is the substance and vision behind it - a shared mission to improve; for the children caught in conflict, for the professionals doing the hard work, and for a future where compassion and resolution go hand in hand. This is where minds align and systems change. Bridging the Gap 2026 is isn’t just a professional gathering. It’s a living, breathing commitment to do things differently, to challenge the status quo, amplify unheard voices, and reconnect the systems that serve families in times of crisis. This event brings together professionals who don’t just talk about change, but embody it, working across mediation, law, psychology, education, and public health to create practical, compassionate solutions that reflect the real lives of children and families. Co-hosted by The London Mediation Company and the Amicable Divorce Network, the conference is co-created by Katy Harris and Tracy Ann Moore-Grant, two women on opposite sides of the Atlantic who share a deep belief in humane, joined-up approaches that prioritise dignity, wellbeing, and early intervention. Over two powerful days, we’ll explore what it really takes to deliver justice that heals, not just adjudicates. From courtrooms to classrooms, mediation rooms to ministerial desks, this is where innovation meets empathy, and experience meets action. This isn’t just another event. It’s a call to do better and an invitation to be part of the change.
