It's 3 weeks to go before The Fertility Show 2026 brings you expert insight and real stories together, all under one roof!

For anyone navigating fertility, the experience can often feel overwhelming.

There are decisions to make, options to explore, and an endless stream of information to process. For many, it can feel isolating too - like you’re expected to quietly figure it all out on your own.

That’s exactly why The Fertility Show 2026 exists.

Returning to Olympia London on 16 - 17 May 2026, this year’s event is set to be the biggest and most comprehensive yet. Bringing together leading experts, over 70 exhibitors, and a powerful programme of live content, it offers something that’s still surprisingly hard to find in one place: clarity, connection, and trusted support.

Whether you’re just starting to explore your options, currently in treatment, or supporting someone you love, the show is designed to meet you where you are.

A space to ask questions, explore options and feel understood

Fertility is rarely straightforward.

It can involve complex medical decisions, emotional highs and lows, and often a sense that there’s no single “right” path. One of the biggest challenges people face is simply knowing where to begin - and who to trust.

The Fertility Show brings all of that together in one place.

Across the two days, visitors can speak directly to clinics, specialists and organisations, compare options, and get answers to questions they may have been holding onto for months. From IVF and egg freezing to surrogacy, donor conception and adoption, every pathway is represented.

It’s an opportunity to condense what might otherwise take weeks of research into one focused, supportive experience.

But beyond the information, there’s something else that makes the show different.

It’s the atmosphere.

There’s a shared understanding in the room. A recognition that everyone is there for a reason. And that sense of community - of not being the only one - can be just as powerful as any expert advice.

Learning from the people shaping the future of fertility care

A key part of the show is access to some of the most respected voices in fertility and reproductive medicine.

Throughout the weekend, visitors can hear from experts including james nicopoullos, Medical Director at The Lister Fertility Clinic, and ZITA WEST, one of the UK’s leading fertility and pregnancy specialists.

They are joined by Professor Dame Lesley Regan DBE, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Imperial College, and Allan Pacey, Deputy Vice President and Deputy Dean at the University of Manchester, offering insight into everything from IVF and reproductive health to male fertility.

Nutrition also plays a vital role in fertility, and sessions from Melanie Brown, a leading fertility nutritionist, will explore how lifestyle and diet can support outcomes.

Alongside them are clinicians and specialists including Adam Balen, Hossam Abdalla, Rahi Victory, Dr Cristina Hickman, Julia Kopeika and Carole Gilling-Smith.

Across more than 30 hours of talks, panels and Q&As, these experts will cover topics including endometriosis, PCOS, age-related fertility, implantation, genetic testing and treatment pathways - providing clear, evidence-based guidance in an accessible, human way.

Let’s All Talk Fertility: where real stories take centre stage

At the heart of the show is the Let’s All Talk Fertility Lounge.

This is where the conversation shifts.

Where statistics and treatment plans are balanced with real-life experience. Where people share what it actually feels like to go through fertility challenges - not just the clinical side, but the emotional and personal realities too.

Supported by Wild Nutrition, the stage creates space for honest, open discussion across a wide range of topics.

Visitors will hear from voices such as Ruth Corden and Georgie Swallow, speaking about living childless not by choice - a perspective that is still too rarely represented.

Author Rebecca Coxon will also share her experience of IVF and donor-assisted conception, exploring what family can look like beyond traditional expectations.

Izzy Judd will host a special panel in partnership with Wild Nutrition, bringing together expert and lived experience perspectives in conversation - PLUS, the first 30 people to book and attend will receive a free gift.

The programme also reflects the diversity of modern family building. Freya Lyons will speak about her experience as a donor-conceived parent and LGBTQ+ mother, alongside adoptive parent NFM, offering insight into different routes to parenthood.

For those navigating unexpected challenges, Kreena Dhiman's session, The Art of Being Brave: Adversity, Acceptance and Alternative Paths to Parenthood, offers a deeply personal perspective on resilience, after serious illness led her to pursue surrogacy and ultimately welcome donor-conceived triplets.

Male fertility, an area that is often overlooked, will also take centre stage. Shaun Greenaway and Ciaran Hannington will lead dedicated panels sharing honest conversations from men who have experienced infertility, helping to open up a conversation that is long overdue.

And adding to the programme, ZITA WEST will launch her new book Conceive! live at the show. Expect expert advice, real, honest conversations and your first chance to hear all about her new book.

Together, these conversations reflect something important: there is no single story when it comes to fertility. And hearing a range of experiences can be both powerful and reassuring.

Supporting the whole person, not just the process

Fertility is not just a medical experience - it’s an emotional one too.

Recognising this, The Fertility Show places a strong emphasis on wellbeing alongside clinical care.

The Fertility Support and Wellness Hub, also supported by Wild Nutrition, offers visitors free access to counsellors, nutritionists and fertility nurses throughout the weekend.

Here, people can take a step back from the information overload and focus on how they are feeling.

Sessions and one-to-one conversations cover managing anxiety, coping with uncertainty, supporting mental health, and building resilience. There is also practical guidance around nutrition, lifestyle and self-care.

It’s a reminder that looking after emotional wellbeing is not separate from fertility care - it’s a vital part of it.

A network of support beyond the clinic

While medical expertise is a crucial part of the fertility journey, many people also need community, advocacy and ongoing support.

That’s why the show brings together a wide range of charities and organisations working across the fertility space.

Visitors can connect with groups including Fertility Action, Donor Conception Network, MRKH Connect and The Endometriosis Foundation.

There is also support for specific communities and experiences, including Ebony Concept, which supports women and couples of African heritage, and Chasing Rainbows for those navigating miscarriage and baby loss.

Platforms like IVFbabble.com provide ongoing information and community support, while NeXYs Fertility focuses specifically on male fertility - offering guidance, coaching and peer support.

This wider network ensures that visitors leave not just with information, but with connections they can return to beyond the event.

Leaving with clarity, confidence and connection

For many people, the hardest part of fertility is the uncertainty.

Not knowing what to do next. Not knowing which option is right. Not knowing who to trust.

The Fertility Show is designed to change that.

By bringing together expert knowledge, lived experience, and emotional support, it creates a space where people can feel informed, supported and empowered to take their next step - whatever that may look like.

As Laura Biggs, Managing Director of The Fertility Show, puts it: “This is our biggest show yet. We’ve brought together leading experts, vital conversations and meaningful support - so everyone leaves feeling informed, empowered, and not alone.”
