We're excited to announce that the BPF Annual Dinner will be returning to iconic backdrop of London's Guildhall, London on 12 November 2025!
This year’s guest speaker is Ed Balls!
Following a distinguished career in frontline politics, including time in Gordon Brown’s Cabinet and as Shadow Chancellor, Ed is now one of the UK’s most recognisable broadcasters. A regular presenter on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, co-host of the Political Currency podcast with George Osborne, and the face of BBC documentaries such as 'Travels in Trumpland', Ed brings a unique blend of insight, experience and humour.
With the world changing rapidly, there’s no one better to help us navigate today’s dynamic landscape.
