Early bird discount available for The Blend 2025
Tickets are now available for The Blend 2025, the conference and networking event for independent garage owners, with an ‘early bird’ discount available until the end of May.
Taking place on Saturday, 18th October 2025, at the Eastside Rooms in Birmingham, The Blend promises another day of networking and expert-led sessions.
Ray Dilsons, Event Director at The Blend said: “We can’t wait to bring the community back together once again for The Blend 2025. Whether you’re new to The Blend or have been before, you’ll feel at home in this supportive, inspiring environment. It’s about learning, sharing, and growing together.”
Open to all independent garages from the UK and Ireland, The Blend is organised by Garage Hive but is not about its garage management system. Instead, it claims to focus on empowering garage owners to connect, share insights, and gain practical advice to drive business success. It’s an opportunity to be inspired by a community of industry peers and collaborate for growth, according to the company.
The conference will reportedly feature a dynamic format, offering a selection of speakers and a variety of trade supplier stands showcasing the latest tools, equipment, and services for garages. The day will conclude with an evening of celebration, including a dinner, awards ceremony, and entertainment.
Ray continued: “It’s about more than just the sessions. The Blend is a unique opportunity to engage with like-minded individuals, exchange ideas, and build lasting business relationships.”
It’s said more than 300 delegates, including garage owners, industry suppliers, and media representatives, are expected to attend this year’s event.
Tickets for The Blend 2025 are available at an early bird rate of £125 + VAT per person, with all surplus proceeds reportedly donated to automotive charity Ben after covering event costs.
For attendees wishing to stay overnight, the Aloft Birmingham Eastside hotel, conveniently connected to the venue, offers accommodation options.
