IIBA UK at 20: celebrating our past, shaping our future

Join us for a special joint celebration of IIBA UK’s 20th Anniversary and Global BA Day - a milestone honouring two decades of community, craft, and the evolution of the Business Analysis profession.

We’re marking the occasion with a hybrid fireside chat, hosted live in London and broadcast across all UK regions. Past and present chapter leaders will come together to share stories from the early days, reflect on how our community has grown, and open an interactive dialogue with attendees about the future of Business Analysis, from emerging practices to the changing needs of organisations and the role of community building in shaping what comes next.

After the fireside chat, each region will continue the celebration in person with food, drinks, and plenty of time to connect with fellow community members. Whether you join us in London or from your local hub, you’ll be part of a nationwide moment recognising the people, passion, and progress that have defined IIBA UK for 20 years.

This is more than an anniversary — it’s a celebration of our shared journey and a look ahead to the next chapter of the future of our profession.

Who is this session for

This celebration is open to everyone — whether you’re an IIBA UK member, a newcomer to the community, a practising Business Analyst, or simply curious about the profession.
