The 8th Annual IR35 Conference brings together industry leaders, legal experts, and policymakers to discuss the latest updates in off-payroll working rules (IR35) and their impact on businesses and the flexible workforce. As one of the most respected voices in the sector, Chris Bryce, Chief Executive of FCSA, will provide critical analysis on umbrella company regulations, compliance challenges, and the future of contingent work under the evolving legislative landscape.

With the government actively reviewing employment rights and tax policy, understanding how IR35 enforcement and umbrella company regulation will change is crucial. Chris will be speaking in two key sessions:

• Panel Debate: Tackling the Skills Shortage & Global Contracting Trends – A discussion on the impact of IR35 on hiring practices and how businesses can remain compliant while accessing top talent.
• Umbrella Companies Update – A deep dive into the current and upcoming regulatory changes affecting umbrella companies, compliance risks, and best practices for mitigating legal and financial exposure.

This conference is an invaluable opportunity to gain clarity on IR35, engage with industry experts, and ensure your organisation is fully prepared for the changes ahead.
