Bureau Management Conference
The Bureau Management Conference is the only event dedicated entirely to the needs of payroll bureau leaders and their teams. Whether you’re running a high-volume operation or leading a specialist service, this is your opportunity to step away from the day-to-day and focus on strategy, innovation, and growth.
Key Speakers

Delegates call Jo “inspirational” and even “the best speaker I’ve ever heard” — this is one session you cannot afford to miss.

What makes a truly high-performing team — and how do you lead through values when the pressure is at its highest? Olympic gold-medallist and former Team GB hockey captain Kate Richardson-Walsh OBE joins us at the Bureau Management Conference to share hard-won lessons on leadership, culture and resilience. Audiences consistently praise Kate as authentic, inspiring and unforgettable.

At the Bureau Management Conference, Nick Day, PayrollOrg’s Global Vision Award winner and host of two top-rated podcasts, will share how to move from Leading Through Fear to influence and impact.
