Showcase Your Work at the RPB Conference 2026

Marketplace / Showcase Stands – Expression of Interest

We are inviting partners to be part of the Marketplace at the Cardiff and Vale Regional Partnership Board Conference 2026 — a key feature of the day designed to bring partnership working to life.

The Marketplace will not be a traditional exhibition. Instead, it will be an interactive learning space, where attendees can explore real examples of what is working across Cardiff and the Vale, connect with others, and take away practical ideas to support their own work.

What is the Marketplace?

The Marketplace will run alongside lunch and provide a dedicated space for:

• Sharing real examples of partnership working
• Showcasing innovation, pilots and new ways of working
• Highlighting co-produced and lived experience-led work
• Supporting conversations, learning and collaboration

Stands will be organised into themed zones:

• Starting Well
• Living Well
• Ageing Well
• Enablers

This will help attendees easily navigate the space and explore areas most relevant to their work.

What are we looking for?

We are keen to hear from partners who can showcase work that:

• Demonstrates tangible impact or learning
• Reflects partnership working across organisations or sectors
• Offers practical ideas or approaches that others can learn from
• Supports improved outcomes for people and communities

We particularly welcome contributions from:

• Local authority services
• Third sector and community organisations
• Cross-sector partnerships
• Projects involving lived experience

What makes a great Marketplace stand?

Based on feedback from partners, the most valuable Marketplace experiences are those that are:

• Interactive and engaging — encouraging conversation rather than presentation
• Practical and relevant — focused on real examples and learning
• Clear and accessible — with simple messages and key takeaways
• Transferable — offering ideas that others can adapt or apply

We encourage you to think about:

• What difference your work is making
• What others can learn from it
• How you will engage people on the day
