The Fertility Show Returns – And Why This Conversation Matters

Written by Sophie Sulehria

As we step into 2026, many organisations are reflecting on priorities for the year ahead – from wellbeing and inclusion to how we better support employees through life stages that profoundly affect work. Fertility is one of those experiences that often remains hidden in the workplace, yet it has a significant impact on performance, retention and progression.

This is where workplace networks and employee resource groups (ERGs) play a critical role – creating visibility, connection and meaningful support for those navigating fertility challenges.

That’s why we’re excited to share our first announcement of the year: tickets are now on sale for The Fertility Show, returning to Olympia London on 16–17 May 2026.

Across two inspiring days, we bring together world-class fertility specialists, clinicians, advocates and people with lived experience to create an environment that is informative, empowering and deeply human. For employees, ERG leads and organisations looking to better support fertility pathways, this is a vital space for learning, conversation and action.

A packed programme of expert talks

Across the weekend, you can expect a full programme of expert talks, interviews and panel discussions featuring some of the most respected voices in fertility care from around the world. Our sessions are designed to cut through misinformation, answer your questions and provide clarity in what can often feel like an overwhelming landscape.

From IVF and ICSI to egg freezing, donor conception, surrogacy, adoption and living childfree not by choice, we aim to cover every possible path to parenthood – with sensitivity, accuracy and compassion.

We also shine a spotlight on women’s health conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis and adenomyosis, alongside the mental and emotional toll fertility struggles can take.

We believe everyone deserves access to clear, evidence-based information so they can make informed decisions that feel right for them. That’s why our stages are led by medical professionals, researchers and advocates committed to patient-centred care.

Over 70 exhibitors under one roof

Alongside our talks programme, you’ll have access to over 70 exhibitors across the weekend, including:

  • Fertility clinics

  • Doctors and nurses

  • Counsellors and therapists

  • Support organisations

  • Holistic practitioners

  • Wellbeing experts

All in one place.

The Fertility Show - Exhibitors

This is a unique opportunity to speak directly with professionals, ask questions you might not feel comfortable raising elsewhere, gather resources and explore your options in a supportive, non-judgemental environment.

Whether you want to discuss treatment pathways, understand costs, explore emotional support or look at complementary therapies, there will be someone there to help.

For many attendees, this face-to-face connection is one of the most powerful aspects of the show – moving beyond Google searches and social media to have real, human conversations with experts who truly understand.

You are not alone

The Fertility Show is the only live event in the UK that brings together this level of expertise, support and community in one discreet, welcoming space.

We know how isolating fertility struggles can feel. Friends and family often mean well, but unless they’ve lived it, they may not fully understand the emotional rollercoaster.

Our aim is always to create an environment where you feel seen, heard and supported – whatever your story. Whether you attend with a partner, a friend, a family member or on your own, you’ll be surrounded by people who get it.

Many of our attendees tell us they feel an immediate sense of relief just walking through the doors.

Real stories, real connection

One of the most meaningful parts of The Fertility Show is hearing from people with lived experience.

The Fertility Show - Let's All Talk Fertility Lounge

Our Let’s All Talk Fertility sessions feature patients, advocates and campaigners sharing their personal stories in honest, open conversations. These talks create space for vulnerability, validation and connection.

Attendees often tell us these sessions are incredibly emotional but deeply comforting – a reminder that they are not alone in what they’re going through.

“Hearing other people’s stories made me feel less isolated. I felt seen, respected, and learnt from the friendly speakers who were all willing to help.” – Past Fertility Show Visitor

Early bird offer – bring someone for free

Tickets are on sale now, and we’re excited to offer an early bird buy one get one free deal.

Use code FS241 and you’ll receive a second ticket completely free.

That means you can bring someone along with you at no extra cost – whether that’s a partner, friend, family member or support person. Fertility can be a lonely road, but you don’t have to walk it alone.

You can choose a 1-Day or 2-Day ticket depending on how much you’d like to see. With so many talks and exhibitors, many people choose to attend both days to make the most of everything on offer.

This offer won’t be around forever, so don’t miss out.

“The show provided the most immense and abundant information we have received – it’s very educational.” – Past Fertility Show Visitor

Who is The Fertility Show for?

The Fertility Show is for anyone impacted by fertility challenges, including:

  • People trying to conceive

  • Those currently in treatment

  • Individuals considering egg or sperm freezing

  • People exploring donor conception or surrogacy

  • Those facing recurrent pregnancy loss

  • Anyone living childfree not by choice

  • Friends and family wanting to better support loved ones

There is no “right” stage to attend. Some people come before they’ve even seen a GP. Others attend after years of treatment. Wherever you are, you are welcome here.

A community built on compassion

What makes The Fertility Show truly special is the community.

Year after year, we see connections formed, friendships started and support networks built. People swap stories, share clinic recommendations and simply listen to one another.

It’s a powerful reminder that even in the hardest moments, community matters.

“I felt very supported and welcome. I also received lots of advice and was pointed in the right direction, which I am so grateful for.” – Past Fertility Show Visitor
