About Nellie Con 2026
Nellie Con 2026 is a full-day socio-legal conference for professionals working at the intersection of law, mental capacity, care, safeguarding and later-life planning.
Hosted by Nellie Supports, the conference brings together solicitors, will writers, professional deputies, attorneys, social workers, case managers, financial planners and legal specialists for a practical day of learning, discussion and professional connection.
This is not a generic training day. Nellie Con is built around the real issues professionals see in practice: complex capacity questions, private client vulnerability, Court of Protection work, deputyship, safeguarding, care planning, professional boundaries and cross-sector decision-making.
Whether you work in law, social care, finance or health, Nellie Con 2026 is designed to help you think more clearly, work more confidently and build connections with people who understand the complexity of this work.
