MSPA EA conference team is happy to share that the 2026 Conference planning is well underway!

We have heard loud and clear from many of you that you will be joining us in exciting and beautiful Alicante, Spain. But before we see you all, we need to hear from our members who would like to share their experiences, presentations and case studies relevant to our theme. These presentations can be about clients, products, processes or people as your business adapts for the future.

Our conference in Tallinn for 2025 was a resounding success and the programme was again highly rated, so a hard act to follow so our plan is to prepare the best ever event we can; ensuring inspirational, relevant and authentic content, great networking and above all a focus on our theme for 2026-

Step Up and Lead the Way

OUR FOCUS

Our MSPA focus and theme for 2026 recognises the three main opportunities and challenges for us all:

• Help us extend the conversation beyond CX to recognise product, placement, promotion, price, premises, people, prevention…
• …and take the lead with our services supporting Operational Excellence in all its forms for our clients…
• …and finally demonstrate pride in the best examples of our work.on investment

These opportunities demonstrate an ever increasing and divergent use of Professional Mystery Shopping and Auditing – with more and more focus on speed, connectivity, accuracy, cost efficiency and the measurement and motivation of the issues that matter most to our clients, as they strive for Operational Excellence and Commercial Impact. 

The list of issues gets ever longer, we help identify and improve everything from a great customer experience to the price and availability of products, the compliance with legislation to the promotion of brand in a competitive marketplace.  

We know all of our delegates will have a tale to tell, to connect, learn and share from our collective experiences – our conference stage waits for those who will be prepared to share and elevate the conversation – Step up and Lead the Way - we look forward to your ideas!
