The Scaffolding Association has confirmed to Scaffmag that it will not be holding its annual conference (ScaffCon) in 2025, but plans are already in motion for a return in 2026.

Following what it described as a “tremendous success” in 2024, the Association said the decision to pause the annual industry event for a year was made to allow time to evolve and enhance the format.

In a statement, the Association said: “ScaffCon24 was a tremendous success, with exceptional engagement from across the scaffold and access industry, from insightful speaker sessions to the addition of our new evening dinner dance, which was widely praised by delegates and sponsors alike.

While we won’t be holding ScaffCon25, plans are already underway for ScaffCon26, which we’re confident will build on the momentum and feedback from 2024.”

Robert Candy, Chief Executive of the Scaffolding Association, said the move will allow the team to build an even stronger offering for future events: “ScaffCon24 exceeded all expectations, from the quality of discussion to the energy in the room. The feedback from our members and stakeholders has been overwhelmingly positive.

While we won’t be holding ScaffCon25, this pause allows us to evolve and enhance the event for the future.”

He added that the Association will now focus on other key initiatives, including the return of National Scaffolding Week in October 2025, which he described as a growing celebration of the industry’s people and progress.

Scaffmag will share further updates as plans for ScaffCon26 take shape.
