Ideas Fest

Forget what you know about business events. Ideas Fest is not your typical conference, it’s a high-energy, open-air festival built for founders, creators, and ambitious entrepreneurs who think differently. Over two unforgettable days, 4,000+ of the UK’s most exciting business minds gather to connect, recharge and be inspired. You’ll find fireside chats, big-stage interviews, unexpected conversations, and ideas you’ll be thinking about long after the last session ends. Set in a stunning outdoor location, Ideas Fest is designed to spark serendipity. Yes, we’ve got inspiring speakers, expert panels and actionable insight, but we’ve also got live music, great food and a buzzing atmosphere that invites you to show up as your whole self. Whether you’re scaling your start-up, shaping the future of your industry, or just getting your idea off the ground, Ideas Fest is your place to belong. It's where investors meet innovators, co-founders find each other, and big ideas are born in beer queues. We don’t do boring. We don’t do buttoned-up. We do bold thinking, big energy, and real community. Come for the content. Stay for the connections. Leave with your next big idea.
