BKR International members from around the world gathered in Madrid from 24–27 October for the 2025 Worldwide Conference, hosted at the InterContinental Madrid.
More than 200 delegates from over 40 countries came together under BKR’s global theme The Time is Now, sharing insights on leadership, innovation, and the future of the profession. The programme combined dynamic plenary sessions, interactive workshops, and memorable networking moments.
Highlights included inspiring talks from Philippe Boulanger, Callum Macrae, Lucy Cohen, Jorge Dezcallar, and Aaron Gould, alongside a global AI panel and practical sessions on marketing and business development.
Social events captured Madrid’s warmth and character – from the Welcome Reception in the hotel gardens to the Gala Dinner at Palacio de Negralejo, a citywide Cultural Gymkhana and Bernabéu Stadium tour, and a final night at the Gingko Sky Bar.
A special thank you goes to Ayce Laborytax, BKR’s host firm in Spain, for their hospitality, and to our sponsors Suralink and Remitian for their valued support.
The Worldwide Conference once again reflected the strength of BKR’s community – connected by shared purpose, collaboration, and connections.
Madrid captured the best of BKR – the connection, learning, and collaboration that unite our members worldwide. That same spirit continues in 2026, with conferences in Marrakech, Ho Chi Minh City, and Dallas for our first-ever joint Americas and Worldwide Conference.
