Every May, Alpha hosts The Leadership Conference in London. The Leadership Conference is a unique opportunity for leaders in every sphere – across contexts, traditions, generations, and cultures – to gather as one, encounter Jesus, and be filled with the Holy Spirit. The aim is to grow in Christ-centered leadership, which has the power to change lives and transform the world.
In 2027, the Leadership Conference will be held in the Royal Albert Hall, London, on May 3rd-4th, with optional activities happening around South Kensington on May 2nd and May 5th. For all information, check out LC27.
The Alpha Team and Board invite you to consider joining us in London for this amazing event.
Tickets are now available (with an Early Bird Discount) and we encourage you to book your tickets using the code LC27IRELAND for Band A Tickets so we can all sit together. Please note that tickets should be booked by you directly, as the Alpha Ireland team do not have extra tickets available.
For the Early Bird Ticket for Band A seats, the rate is £285, saving £14 per ticket. Don't forget to use the LC27IRELAND code at check-out when purchasing tickets to ensure the Irish group is seated together.
There are also a limited number of Young Leaders Tickets available at a great discount for those under 30. There are 300 tickets on sale at a great discount and are available until they are sold out.

FAQs
When and where should I book my plane tickets?
There are several flights a day to London from Ireland (Dublin, Shannon, Cork, Knock, and Belfast) on Aer Lingus, Ryan Air, and British Airways to name a few. Heathrow Airport (LHR) is the closest airport to South Kensington and the easiest to travel to and from by the London Underground. Ticket prices to London are usually pretty reasonable so you may want to book closer to the time, once you decide if you are going to attend any optional activities on May 2nd and May 5th (Details coming in 2027).
As the main conference starts at 9am on Monday 3rd and finishes on Tuesday 4th at 9pm, you may want to plan to arrive on Sunday 2nd and depart on Wednesday 5th, if possible.
Where do you recommend we stay?
We have stayed in several different hotels in and around South Kensington and would suggest you consider booking at the following hotels:
The Montana Hotel: https://montanahotel.co.uk/
The Acacia Hotel: https://acaciahotel.co.uk/ (budget option)
The Rembrandt Hotel: https://www.sarova-rembrandthotel.com/
Booking.com is a great resource as there are literally hundreds of hotels and airbnbs in this area. Areas to search are South Kensington, Earl’s Court, and Kensington. The Royal Albert Hall is walking distance from these areas, and if you decide to stay further away, the South Kensington tube stop is the closest to the venue.
Who should I contact if I have any questions?
Reach out to Julie O’Donnell at julie@alphaireland.org.
Please do let Julie know if you book tickets and we will be sure to include you in our Monday evening Pub Gathering and the LC27 Whatsapp Group!
