Our campaign for damage prevention continues to grow and our annual Damage Prevention Day 2025 was the biggest and best one yet.  Held on 19th June at The Hilton, St Georges Park in Burton-On-Trent, it was a fantastic day with thought provoking speaker sessions, panel discussions, a fantastic range of exhibitors and more it was a brilliant way to encourage discussion around all things safe digging from a broad representation of our industry.

We are excited to confirm that we have secured the same venue for 2026 on Tuesday June 9th.  Attendees can expect the return of popular features from previous years, alongside exciting new additions designed to enhance the experience and engagement throughout the day.

The full agenda will be released nearer the time but there will be something for everyone and one thing we can promise is, it will be another fantastic day so we would love to see you there. If you didn’t attend this year then the video below will help to give you an idea of what the event is about.
