IA’s Information Day 2026 promises to be an exciting day as we are celebrating our 70th year offering support to people with an ileostomy (and internal pouch since 1993). We’ve created yet another packed programme for this special platinum anniversary. You can, of course, expect to be entertained and enlightened by subject matter experts on the topics that matter most. Lunch and refreshments are included in your registration and we’ll even ‘throw’ in a bit of birthday cake too!

Once the day’s workshops and presentations are complete, why not extend your day and join us for our celebratory evening entertainment (additional cost £40, payable at time of booking). Don’t miss the chance to don your best bib and tucker for our black-tie gala dinner and live music! We will be entertained by ‘Big Hair’, our very own Surrey IA volunteer Vicky and her band members who will be performing a 70’s set of live music and is not to be missed.

We are delighted to be joined this year by disability campaigner Mollie Pearce (BBC’s The Traitors and ITV’s Dancing on Ice), and Zoey Wright, world champion fitness model.

Take a look at our exciting programme of presentations and workshops at the bottom of the page below the booking form… in fact, we’ve packed so much in that we recommend you join us from 9am to grab a coffee, chat to our exhibitors and then grab a seat and settle down for the info day which starts at 10am.
